This is reported to be fixed in 2.6.32 kernels.
Please test gentoo-sources-2.6.32-r7.

Confirmed. This resolves the problem. However, the problem, I think was not with the kernel sources, but with the gentoo patches, since r6 worked just fine and r10 did not.
Comment 4 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2010-03-02 13:31:35 UTC 
It's not a problem with the genpatches, it is a problem in the driver source in the kernel that was fixed.
