Yep, that's why someone stepped forward and *completely* re-wrote the driver, basically from scratch. Unfortunately, the changes were so radical to not be able to easily back-port to 2.1. Even the code in 2.2.1R was a bit buggy, but that has recently been fixed. The only real solution I can tell you is to install 2.2.1 and then get the latest fixes from releng22.freebsd.org (which is updated daily to have the most recent bits.) Sorry I don't have any good news for 2.1.*.
