Could it be - as the "newer" firmware is much smaller then the older 
ones - that some functionality was moved from the firmware to the driver?

Well, THAT seems somehow familiar too me...

I have quite some general programming experience - but not on kernel 
programming; and until now I didn't see, where to start - as the driver 
simply hung for some reason. That problem is solved, and if someone 
could give me a clue, I would like to contribute some of my unfortunatly 
also very little spare time on that...
