Comment 18 for bug 516777

The patches have been committed to the lucid kernel tree. Please make sure to test the next kernel that comes out to ensure that everything is working properly, both with new hardware and old. We need to be sure it works. If we find any issues, we can still pull out the patch before general release.

Also, I've sent the patches upstream to -stable. I doubt they will be accepted, but it's worth a shot. I've been communicating with the maintainer of the driver, and he is supporting the effort.
