Errm, sorry, but _no_ 2.6.* version has ever worked for me with your 
drivers. (OK, admittedly I didn't try all combinations, just the ones 
available at the same time). It took a while to figure out that you 
actually put a "nice modprobe" into devfsd.conf which was the reason the 
driver hogged up my system more than once. I recommend using "MODLOAD 
action /dev/...".

And downgrading the kernel is not possible due to firewire and other 
issues.
