Hello,

this problem is now affecting feisty as well. I believe it was introduced in version 2.6.20-16.31 or linux-source-2.6.20 in this change:

Since I know of at least one person besides me who is affected by this bug in feisty and gutsy on the same hardware, I'll set this to "confirmed" and raise the importance to "medium".

Regards,

Michael

p.s.: I'm sorry, I just have to ask: is it common practice to add support for new hardware after a distribution was released? Also, why is hardware support added in kernel releases which are pushed to "feisty-security" instead of, say, the backports or updates repository?
