Good luck. at least the device is totally death for any i2c stuff, means that Andy is right, that it fails on prior PCI stuff already. Coming up by default with a PCI latency of 0 also looks insane. It is also not reproducible on a recent 2.6.26 _64 quad too. Unload the drivers, put the device out, wait 35 seconds, load the drivers again, insert that card and report it is still the same.
