Comment 3 for bug 343571

Unfortunately, by the SRU team's policy it's not allowed to update an entire driver version in a stable release, only cherrypick fixes for specific bugs, and only after extensive testing.

However, I know it sucks when the driver in the distro is busted and a newer release works but isn't available. So as a way to solve these sorts of problems, I've established a PPA for getting new stable versions of various drivers and added 713 there:
