I only use Debian packaged kernels from wheezy-backports, jessie, or sid, so 3.12 is not an option for me. > If you try either 3.11.8-1 (testing) or 3.11.10-1 (unstable), do > these also show the problem? Yes, these two kernels exhibit exactly the same behavior as the linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64 mentioned above. > I would suggest if it's dependent upon the kernel you are running, > that this should be reassigned to the "linux" kernel source > package. I agree. That would be, ii linux-source-3.11 3.11.8-1~bpo70+1 all Linux kernel source for version 3.11 with Debian patches Could you please reassign this bug report for me?
