Hm, okay, so the changes for newer hardware shouldn't matter at all.

Nothing out of the ordinary, no. You'd have to capture serial console 
output or a vmcore from the time of the crash to really get a better 
idea of where its falling down. The panic trace ought to give a clue 
where to start looking.

I can't recall, have you tried using this under Windows, and if so, was 
it stable there? A hardware fault is always a possibility, especially 
when there's only a single report of something like this. Then again, 
this is a fairly young driver. But I never saw anything like this in my 
own testing during driver devel, nor did Fintek. :\
