Comment 115 for bug 626974

apo, you are 100% on target. I could go through all of the gyrations to patch my drivers using the posted solution, but I didn't install Ubuntu because I wanted to spend a lot of time maintaining the machine I use it on. Ubuntu has a great distribution and updating system. It seems pointless and inefficient to have to work around the system in a case like this. This should be rolled into a normal update ASAP and officially available.
