And the latest firmware files from the linux-firmware tree.

David - can you send a pull request for a 3.2 based kernel with these commits applied ? Either in this bug or on <email address hidden>.

[Tim Gardner (timg-tpi)]

On second thought, this feature request would be better served by using the Quantal LTS kernel. Prior to the 12.10 release you can install linux-image-generic-lts-quantal from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/q-lts-backport

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Julian Wiedmann (jwiedmann)]

Landed in 1.82.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
