Certainly in 2.4.18 (and I've seen a pile of other similar reports).

Long time ago -its been behaving well until fairly recently

Oldish firmware definitely. The newer driver finds the card registers

130/150 or so (as opposed to db). Flipping back to the older kernel it
works happily.

Any specific info/debug/traces that would help ?
