Yes, but I can't remember exactly which version this broke on.  It definitely
worked all through 12.04 and in 12.10 up until whatever upgrade I happened to
do on-or-about 2012-08-20 (when I filed the bug).  I'm pretty diligent about
doing once or twice daily upgrades on this machine, so it couldn't have been
much past when the failure started to occur.

See attached.  Note from my previous comment that this is after a reboot
disabling the /etc/modules entry.

Yep, I'll give those a shot and report back.
