Tormod - I copied in the 2.7.0 driver you suggested. I think alberto is working on a version that includes kernel changes, we we may update to his once they're available. You two may want to touch bases. I also removed the old ones as you recommended. I wonder if it might be possible to get you into membership on the ubuntu-x-swat team so you can make these changes more directly. Was the issue just the bug mail volume? Maybe we could switch to using an opt-in/out-able mailing list for this?
