Looks like 2.6.22 kernel (available in gutsy at the moment) handles it much
better. I started with cable unplugged, so with 2.6.20-15 if I plug cable I
should reinsert the module. Now module works fine. I see link messages in
syslog.
I didn't try to transfer large files from this network adapter. Old behavior
was complete GUI freeze. I'll check and report behavior.
