Comment 23 for bug 573273

You're very welcome. Unfortunately, there's not really any way of predicting when a particular kernel release could occur. I would hazard to guess, these being my words and not those of anything official, that it would be resolved by the next stable Ubuntu release, so before October. As ever, the best way to find out what's happening with relation to this problem is to stay subscribed to this report, as any patches created by developers would normally be attached here, and so you could try the solution as it was developed, regardless of a kernel release. The bug could be taken upstream to the actual Linux kernel project if it covers other distributions, independent of Ubuntu, and that would also be mentioned here. Hopefully a solution will be found in the near future, and that's all that can really be said. Thank you for using your time to report this, so that the distribution can be made better for everyone.
