PR? What is that...?

Are you suggesting that this is a bug in the kernel/driver rather than
unsupported hardware? Well, dmesg atleast identifies the correct
chipset/driver and it works. Bad, but it works. UDMA/33 isn't so nice and
if I start a high-load disk operation the system is likely to freeze
completely.

If this is a bug, to whom/where should I report it?
