Comment 31 for bug 220019

Agreed with unggnu's comment #26 - large diffs are less likely to be accepted by the SRU team, but I've left the Hardy task as Confirmed in case someone would like to do it. A minimal patch would need to be extracted and tested to ensure it fixes the issue. Unggnu suspected that it was fixed by commit f425181695b1b3864373e1919cf651229f19fa69.

Alternatively (and perhaps more effectively), you may wish to simply request a backport of the driver - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How%20to%20request%20new%20packages
