I think this was just an update to support the Siemens card. I think that 
update was:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/atmel-firmware/+bug/5125


Actually, I think this is the bug I'm interested in:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/34752

Still no fix. I wait with baited breath. Glad it's not just me:) I'm 
surprised this has not been fixed. The bug is from mid-march, and I guess 
atmel chipsets are pretty common.
