I would definitely suggest filing a bug in Red Hat's bugzilla. If the hardware works with the out of box driver and completely falls down with the in box driver, that's definitely something that should be fixed. I was thinking there was maybe an optional feature you wanted, but that's a clear defect that Red Hat needs to be made aware of and get fixed.
