2014-05-10 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Chris Hermansen, when you do get a chance to file an upstream report, you would want to first test the latest mainline kernel available first (now http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.15-rc5-utopic/ ). Only if reproducible, you would then want to send it to linux- ker...@vger.kernel.org
