Hi,
The next release of Debian (6.0, code name Squeeze) will be based
on 2.6.32. Please test the atk5k from the current 2.6.32 from
unstable/testing and tell us whether the problem persists. If so,
we should report it upstream to the kernel.org developers.
The 2.6.32 kernel is available from packages.debian.org and can
be installed in both Debian stable, testing and unstable
installations.
Thanks,
Moritz
