So, my driver fails while the other one works. That appears to be a bug
in my driver, so I should have gotten thi bug report.
The latest versions should fix this however. I asked the Debian folks
to grab 2.0d28 from my web page.
I don't know whether they are going to do it, though, as this would mean
ta accept a patch, which is not yet in the kernel.
