Sorry, you're saying that the driver is sending more data than it's
being asked to in some situations?  That is a *very* serious bug in both
this driver and any other driver which relies on (as opposed to merely
tolerates) this behaviour.  If that is the case it really needs to be
fixed fairly urgently.
