Can you give the latest Trusty kernel a test to see if it also has this issue? It can be downloaded from:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.12.0-2.7/+build/5216421

Same results with trusty kernel.

With provided firmware

With other firmware

Do you happen to know if this issue also happened in earlier Ubuntu releases?

It had happened on raring too.
