Just a quick comment in case this helps someone looking for workarounds. To build a dkms package of the 0019 driver:
- download the sources from the link in the previous post
- unpack the tarball somewhere
- place the attached dkms.conf in the main directory of the extracted tarball
- do "sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper dkms"
- from a terminal, change into the extracted directory and run "dkms mkdeb --source-only"
- then install the .deb (which will have been placed in the parent directory) using 'dpkg -i', double-clicking, or whatever you wish
Reboot to start using the 0019 driver. The advantage of the dkms .deb package is, of course, that it can be easily uninstalled, and that it will be recompiled automatically with every kernel upgrade.
