John,

I have seen similar issue in past and It was solve at pci  subsystem level.
I am not sure what was a change but yes it was IRQ mapping issue at pci subsystem of OS.

So my suggestion to you is use 2.6.34 where things are working fine and see what a behavior is with 
3.04.14 driver and 3.04.15 driver.
