Yes. The 3w-xxxx.c driver changed between 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 but
nothing jumps out to my untrained eyes. Here's the diff:
Also, I should mention that the working kernel is a fedora
rpm (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6) so I don't know what patches are in it.
The vmlinuz is dated Oct 6 2006.

Change to new 'change_queue_depth' api.
Fix 'handled=1' ISR usage, remove bogus IRQ check.
- 1.26.02.002 - Free irq handler in __tw_shutdown().
