Comment 29 for bug 1157880

@Thomas H St.Clair:
The patch needs to be applied on the sources tree of the device driver while building the .deb package. As my current laptop runs Fedora only, and as for the moment I can't get an Ubuntu machine with all the build environment needed, you need a generous developer in this thread to check if the patch applies correctly in the current sources tree of the Ubuntu package (see my comment #27) and to build the package for you.

Sorry for that!
Maybe you should try to build it yourself by following instructions displayed here: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/index.html

Maybe I could get an Ubuntu machine the next few days, and try to build it, but that's not 100% sure.

Cordially,
