Comment 40 for bug 209342

After seeing symptoms identical to those described both here and in bug 189398, and using the fix there, I'm concluding that this is a dupe. Please upgrade the severity of that bug to 'High', as this one was marked.

(I haven't gotten a chance to try out vanilla kernels; this is my only machine, and downtime is kind of hard to come by. But with the fix in place, the wireless and sound drivers load, and there's no long pause at boot, so at least there's a workaround.)
