hmmm - Daniel  - the other bug report says that it is "fix released" -
but clearly the issue is not resolved as per the last comment.

Can I suggest you either reopen this one or reopen the other bug report?

Remember - the other report was for raring - so the package was fixed in
the raring repository.

This problem is for Precise users - they have the older package which
doesnt work for the HWE raring kernel.
