Ok, the IPW2200 wireless driver used to go off into never-never land back
in 2.6.10 or so, and since 2.6.12 it just does a lot of firmware resets.
Does that count as "binary-only driver loaded"? It's binary-only firmware
loaded into the card, but it's not a binary-only kernel module...

Lots of the questions about bugs are that way, where I'm thinking "the
info provided by answering these questions can't possibly be useful" as
I'm filling them in...
