Kambo,

can you run the driver with a high debug flag and log what is going on,
make sure you have alot of space since it talks alot.

The card seems to be locking up with a couple of commands in the register that
are not known to me, my specs don't list them, hopefully the new specs talk
about it. At this time it's not known where the command comes from, I am
working on a patch that will tell a bit more about that...
