Hi Bruce,

What you're describing doesn't seem to me like quite the same problem.
In any case, please default to filing a bug (the ubuntu-bug command is
great for this!). It's easy for developers to go back to it and mark
it as a duplicate later anyway, and it makes sure we get the
information about your specific problem and that we can work on fixing
it by having all the information that pertains to that case: hardware
model, PCI IDs, etc.
