Comment 49 for bug 1069707

I'm sorry I saw this report only now, I'm the writer of the blog linked at #34 and I already reported the bug upstream:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48671
There's a patch linked, but it has not been merged yet (don't know how this things work).

The problem with my PPA is that it only works with kernel 3.5, as of 3.6 the module fails to build. Waiting for the patch to be merged upstream, or patching stock sony-laptop.c in the PPA for raring without Absence patches.
