Comment 83 for bug 496093

I'm downloading the kernel listed in this thread and will report whether or not it helps anything. I'm getting a bit frustrated with this issue cropping up in every release of Ubuntu though. If I wanted to have to compile my hardware every update...well there are other distros for that--I **thought** Ubuntu wasn't supposed to be one of them. Somewhere, somehow I got this strange kooky idea Ubuntu was intended as a distribution "for the masses" and as such would support consumer hardware. I guess I was smoking crack, because you don't get hardware that is more consumer grade than a netbook. You don't get more Linux compatible than having Linux be a part of the bleeping model name...
