Module ns558 fails to load

Hi all,

In order to make my joypad work, I have the following lines in the
file /etc/rc.local:

	modprobe joydev
	modprobe analog
	modprobe ns558; modprobe -r ns558; modprobe ns558
	ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/js0

With kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3, the ns558 module requires two loading
attempts in order to be loaded correctly. Extract from dmesg:

...
input: Analog 2-axis 4-button joystick at isa0201/gameport0 [TSC timer,
1811 MHz clock, 1480 ns res]
gameport: NS558 ISA at 0x201 speed 701 kHz
pnp: Device 00:0f disabled.
ns558: probe of 00:0f failed with error -16
analog.c: 0 out of 0 reads (0%) on isa0201/gameport0 failed
pnp: Device 00:0f activated.
input: Analog 2-axis 4-button joystick at pnp00:0f/gameport0 [TSC timer,
1811 MHz clock, 1480 ns res]
gameport: NS558 PnP at pnp00:0f io 0x201 speed 701 kHz
...

Is this a known problem?
