Hi Rene,
Hopefully this email account will work better. In any case, thanks for
bringing this bug to my attention. I may have stumbled across it a
couple days ago, and would appreciate if you would try this patch:
(there may be some fuzz)

It's possible that the attach mechanism isn't working correctly because
of recent driver model changes. If this is the case, it would also
explain the detach-not-called issues.
