Comment 73 for bug 1234818

Hi,

to answer Matthew Carpenter, I own an ASUS MB168B+ and no, it isn't working in the latest 14.04 releases...

I'm still in the process of reading all I can find about this problem, but so far, as everyone, I can't find any clear instructions about "how to make it simply works"...

My notebook is an ASUS G75VW
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
G75VW.223

I'll add an apport report from my notebook if it can help...
