There are some problems with speed changing in 2.2.15 because somebody told
me to insert capable(SYSADM) in the drivers. The problem is that the code is
sometimes called from interrupt context, so it _may_ not work depening on which
process that was running when the interrupt arrived!?

Anyway, this is fixed in the 2.2.16pre2 code from Alan Cox, so you could try it. The
bug was intruduced right before 2.2.15, so the fix didn't make it into this release :-(

PS. Personally I don't have any problems with Linux-2.2.15 and the
      Ericsson-SH888, and use it almost every day.
