Is this driver supposed to work with this card under 2.1.65?

This in the ISA version version of the easyconnect board. It works
like a charm under 2.0.3x, however I get an error message about
invalid rom under 2.1.65. I pulling down the latest firmware and
stlload from ftp.stallion.com, and compiled the utilities under the
correct kernel, but I get the same message.

2.0.3x recognizes the board as follows, 2.1.65 recognizes it with the
same numbers/addresses.

STALLION: EC8/64-AT found, unit=0 io=2a0 mem=cc000 nrpanels=1 nrports=1

The exact error message given is:

./stlload: read of ROM signature failed, errno=1062840300

If i run it by hand several times I get the following:

router-205-64# ./stlload -v -v -v cdk.sys

dmesg gives me lots of these :
