I had the same problem which was solved by turning off "Plug and Play OS Support" (or something like that) in the BIOS. Worked like a charm after that. I got the info from somewhere on the website listed for the driver. More information is there if that doesn't solve the problem (look in the docs for the driver or in the source... too lazy to look right now for you though).
