Actually, checking on this again its true what you say :) Its really
broken (kernel 2.6.31-r6 here) although it was working fine
approximately two kernel versions ago. Fortunately its winter in
Germany. I hope you get these patches into the driver until summer :)

The fundamental theorem of algebra is open source. Like any other
mathematical theorem it can be applied free of charge and everybody
has access to its proof and can convince himself how it works. Why
should software be any different?
