Comment 26 for bug 1627828

The VPD error message is addressed in this document from HP

http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=mmr_kc-0131686

which has links to kernel patches from SUSE that are related to the one in comment #25

It isn't clear to me how much of this is already in the 'buntu kernels, or what effect the "VPD" problem has on the loading of the iwl3945 firmware and my wifi access.
