[John Navitsky <653714@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Note the workarounds appear _not_ to work with Natty.  

I upgraded and couldn't convince Natty to install -96 fully.  I don't
recall the exact message, but I think it suggested it couldn't satisfy
the package dependencies.

When I install 185 as in comment #9, the driver doesn't appear to
recognize the hardware.
