Subject: Hermes PCI broken on 2.6.20?

Running both 2.6.20 and 2.6.18, the hermes PCI driver (CONFIG_HERMES_PCI)
gives the following errors. Card is a revision 1 chipset (Dev ID 3873).
Note that when iwconfig is run a few times in a row, the error messages
go away but they might just be getting ratelimited. Anyone else seen
this?
