[Nathan <nblomquist+ubuntuone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Looks like my laptop wasn't updated to 3.13.0-35.66, it was updated to
3.13.0.35.42.  That is why I didn't see my RT2500 working when I
updated.

I tried to install .62, but my laptop is too old and doesn't support PAE
(Pentium M, so during installation of 14.04 I needed to use forcepae).

That is off topic, so for now I will be waiting to see if this fix gets
pushed into a kernel my laptop supports.  Looks like it is getting
there.
