Comment 4 for bug 1035723

Thanks.

I've downloaded and installed these packages from "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.1-quantal/"
    linux-image-extra-3.5.1-030501-generic_3.5.1-030501.201208091310_i386.deb
    linux-image-3.5.1-030501-generic_3.5.1-030501.201208091310_i386.deb

And from "from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/"
    linux-image-3.6.0-999-generic_3.6.0-999.201208130420_i386.deb
    linux-image-extra-3.6.0-999-generic_3.6.0-999.201208130420_i386.deb

Then rebooted twice; first time in 3.6 and the second time in 2.5.1. Both times it it gave the same results: 0 simultaneous effects, though 'dmesg' gave slightly more output on both instances:
[code]

[/code]

So it hasn't been fixed yet. What's the next step?

Much appreciated.
