Oddly enough, it works just fine with a vanilla 2.6.16. Paulo: if you run 'lspci' I think you will find device "00:02.1" to be missing. This is the problem. Somehow, the vendor kernel does not do the PCI quirk properly to "unhide" that device. I will look into it further tomorrow... but at least, the workaround is to use a vanilla kernel.
