Right now I have no idea why it does those things -- it never used to, but I haven't used my FreeBSD laptop much in a couple of years, so something has obviously changed. However, as a kind soul has just donated a CEM33 card on condition that I make a reasonable attempt at getting it working, I'm going to spend some time on the driver next month. Starting tomorrow in fact. First thing is to sort out the problems you've just mentioned, then getting this CEM33 and my other CE2 cards working. Since you've volunteered I'll certainly send patches your way as soon as I have them.
