Ok, I've attached some more info. At this stage I'm thinking it is kernel-related: firmware is not being loaded (from: /lib/firmware/2.6.17-10-generic/isl3890) and the device not being enabled, despite the same module version.
I also found some confirmation of 2.6.17+ issues here: http://www.prism54.org/punbb/viewtopic.php?pid=6624
