Comment 59 for bug 656279

Their time machine doesn't work as well as yours. Do you expect them
to put out a new version of their drivers instantaneously every time
there's a new kernel release? Easy cure is to go back a kernel
version. If your hardware is less than a few days old, it won't be a
problem.
