I've not got that much knowledge of netdde really, but I'll have a look 
when I get time. The Atheros hardware that I got to work with the latest 
netdde only required changes to the model identification and the to 
IRQ/GSI translation. It's possible other hardware might work with minor 
enhancements because the IRQ stuff should be generic via ACPI. I doubt 
that I'd be able to contribute a lot for specific driver issues since I 
haven't access to the particular hardware.

It would be helpful to be certain regarding whether or not the new 
netdde is influencing this. Can you run with the old one to check?
