Interesting.  Exactly what happened?  Upgrade or Fresh install?  Any
useful messages in /var/log?

Do you know what the problem is and whether they are aware of it?

Did you find a bug report on it?  Or did you report a bug at launchpad?

If not, they won't have anything to go on and it may never get fixed -
there is just so much hardware out there and interdependencies between
hardware and configurations, that good reports from folks like you is
often critical.

Thanks,
