Bug#656574: device driver

[Nicholas Bamber]

Fabrizio,
        As discussed elsewhere I am wondering whether the new version will fix
my isses. The attached file shows some config (security blanked out). A
working connection is never established and when I start pinging it
sooner or later hangs. A search on google suggested this was a driver
issue and experiments on other machines with different hardware
suggested I have roughly the right config.

        Anyway having given you this information I will check over the suggsted
new version and get back to you with any observations
