There seem to be issues with the natsemi.o module (used with the FA-311) and certain kenel versions, among other things. Do a Google search using the keyphrase "something wicked happened! 18000" for more info.

thank you for help.

well, it was very easy: just download and compile a newer version (e.g. 2.4.13)
