I think I have found a hotfix for it, you were quite close talking about the TX registers.
I did not yet have the time to really test it though, 
but I am willing to do so next weekend.
Is there anybody else using this driver, so that once I have it working we can check wether 
the fix brakes anything for somebody else ?

Regards,
Tobias
