The card worked with kernel 2.6.27-7, but stopped working with 2.6.27-11.
I've now upgraded to kernel 2.6.27-13 from intrepid-proposed and the
card works again. Thanks Stefan, Martin and/or who else was involved in
creating this fix
P.S. I did not see an instruction what packages need to be updated, I
guessed
linux-headers-2.6.27-13-generic
linux-image-2.6.27-13-generic
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-13-generic
