Ravi,

intriguingly, those systems are certified for Ubuntu *12.04 LTS*, *not*
for Ubuntu *14.04 LTS*. My recollection is that the driver from the
manufacturer was specifically directed at 12.04 (or it may have been a
corresponding kernel version). The kernel has changed sufficiently from
12.04 to 14.04 for the driver no longer to be effective, as one
understands it. Had the manufacturer updated the driver, or someone else
taken over maintenance (with or without manufacturer's sponsorship),
then this frustrating problem would not have arisen.

Cheers,

Robin

PS: It wasn't really necessary to quote all the certified machines (36
in total) in glorious detail!
