["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

John Scott, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.17

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil
icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Summary changed:

- Problems when closing lid on Gateway and Acer notebooks
+ [Gateway NE56R] Problems when closing lid

** Description changed:

  I have a Gateway NE56R and sometimes unusual things happen when closing
- the lid. It's likely that this also affects Acer Aspire notebooks
- because of the hardware similarities. Usually, closing the lid will
- cause the built-in wireless (a Broadcom BCM4313, 14e4:4727) to greatly
- slow down communication. Don't let the fact that the wireless is a
- BCM4313 fool you; there are many bugs and problems that have been
- reported with it, but this version of the kernel fixes my wireless
- problems, so don't focus on its history of incompatibility with Linux.
- Also, leaving the lid closed for a long period of time (two hours or so)
- while still using the computer (I use VGA external monitor) may cause
- all USB devices to stop functioning. Even more occasionally, replugging
- a single device may cause all other USB devices to work.
