Comment 45 for bug 760131

@miroslav,
so those lkml threads were a different issue.
i really hope michael larabel finds time to perform those bisects!

i'd report this upstream myself but without git bisects i am way too chicken to face the ire of testy kernel devs.

for those who are still affected by this bug i recommend trying 2.6.34 from here:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34.7-maverick/

this takes care of both major power regressions noted by michael larabel. my netbook battery (6 cell) life increased from ~3.7 hrs on mainline 2.6.38 to 6.5 hrs on 2.6.34!
