Probably the best thing to do now is to install the kernel docs/source and find the
maintainer for that driver. Probably, the contaact details are in the MAINTAINERS file.
Contact the maintainer according to those instructions, and include:
A drescription of the problem
The messages you see
The output of the lspci -v -v command. All of it, it's not _that_ big.
The name of your distro and the kernel you're using.
You might also feed this info into BZ, it may help to include the BZ number in your
report to the maintainer.
With any luck at all, the maintainer will tell you where to get a patch so you
can build a new kernel.
The RHL docs include information on kernel building.
As the problem moves towards resolution, ensure all interested parties are informed.
Probably the final result should go to the FAQ list.
