The user in that bug does have cx23385 loaded, but it's not clear that it's the driver for the board he was having problems with. The short summary of what I feel the bug in my report is that the cx23885 driver needs to load an external firmware and supply that to the pci card. The second error

I suspect this is still an issue, but I would have to move hardware around of which I'm reluctant to do. If I remember correctly, the main issue with this driver is that the firmware is incorrect, the other bugs seem to be derived from that. As a note, I doubt that this is an ubuntu bug, rather
