    Red Hat is aware of this issue. Please see http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-19077 This issue did not affect the versions of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5, as the affected driver is not enabled in these kernels.

Future kernel updates in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG will address this issue.
