At some point a software upgrade has switched me back to an older
kernel.  I was checking uname -r after any reboot following a kernel
package update to check I was loaded in the correct way but I missed
when this switched.  To further complicate things I used purge-old-
kernels to free up space on my /boot partition and although I am sure I
checked that it didn't say it was removing the 4.1.0 kernel I thought I
was on, I now only seem to have the headers in place.

This bug seemed to be quite intermittent so ~2 weeks of testing is probably not 
enough to say it is not present in the updated kernel line.  I will try and 
install the latest kernel again now.  Top of that page is:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc8-unstable/ 

$ wget 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc8-unstable/linux-headers-4.1.0-040100rc8-generic_4.1.0-040100rc8.201506150335_amd64.deb
$ wget 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc8-unstable/linux-headers-4.1.0-040100rc8_4.1.0-040100rc8.201506150335_all.deb
$ wget 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc8-unstable/linux-image-4.1.0-040100rc8-generic_4.1.0-040100rc8.201506150335_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

That seems to install OK.  Hopefully the next post from me will be in
about 1 month to say that things are still working well or slightly
sooner to confirm that I have hit the issue running the newer kernel.
