 Unfortunately I don't have any wm cards and when I looked at fxp, I didn't
 have the knowledge necessary for fixing it (the driver is very different
 from the ones I fixed -- and my fixed even needed further fixing as seen in
 the ticket).
 
 It might be better to open a separate ticket for each driver that
 unnecessarily resets the card when flags change. This would allow assigning
 each ticket to a person who understands the corresponding driver. This
 ticket could then remain closed, and just referenced from the new tickets.
 
 Best regards,
 + Kimmo
