Googling showed [1] . And that links to [2].

If you have access to the network (wired), please run :
 ubuntu-bug /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)

and follow the prompts. If this device worked for you in 10.10 "out of the
box", then please mark the bug as "Regression Release".

Feel free to subscribe me (smoser) if you like.  It won't really help
much, but I can poke some people.
