[QIII <1424491@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For clarity:

I attempted the following on my test machine:

1. Upgrade from 14.04.1 with the driver installed.  I always recommend
against this, but I attempted it anyway in the interest of testing.

2. From a fresh installation of 14.01.1, install the driver, remove the
driver, upgrade and then re-install the driver.

3. Install 14.04.2 fresh, update and then install the driver.

All methods failed similarly.
