I'm sorry that I haven't responded earlier - but you aren't alone. Other
pressures have kept me completely away from Linux work for the last couple
of months - and there's no end in sight.
Have you tried initialising the driver under DOS and then doing a warm
boot into Linux before attempting to load the frpw driver ? That driver
requires the Xilinx truth table to be loaded into the device before the
driver can talk to it. There were several different model-specific
firmware images for the early models.
