Bug Description
I've got a Macbook Pro 6,2 that runs Ubuntu 11.04.
It randomly happens - let's say every hour - that the touchpad stops working. The pointer freezes but cliking and double clicking is still possible.
The ugly workaround is to open a terminal, remove the module and load it again:
sudo modprobe -r bcm5974
sudo modprobe bcm5974
This did not happen with 10.10
I will now attach dmesg output. If you need some logs, just tell me.
