I more likely means that nobody is here who knows the driver well enough to suggest a fix. You could report to upstream: <email address hidden>, Cc: Ayaz Abdulla <email address hidden> (forcedeth developer). Upstream will be more interested in reports about untainted kernels though. Vanilla 2.6.29(.1) perhaps.
