I had the same trouble with a CEM33. Worked out of the box, stopped
working after a couple of months (anonymous memory, metoo).
Miraculously started working again after a couple of months, without
having changed anything related. Still don't know if that was related
to the card, the notebook (Lion), or the driver (version 3.0.12).

Please mail me, if you'd like my configs anyway - your problem might
have other reasons.
