I have found no references to any bug reports at all with this card, and I cant see any bugfixes being in 2.5/2.6 but not 2.4 either. I can see the card TX/RX:ing a few hundred packets or more (3-60 secs) before hanging.

2.6 will have the same problem. I have a version that uses NAPI that shouldn't hang.
It seems to work fine, but didn't want to submit it without more testing.
