Not sure why apport is starting to pick this up as a 'serious error' all of a sudden. I've had this 'error' in the dmesg since I first installed karmic. It never causes a problem on my system, because its just a warning. In my case the error is that ECC memory is disabled in the BIOS. Which is hardly surprising since the laptop doesn't have ECC memory installed.

Perhaps the driver needs to alter its warning messages so that it is less alarming.
