Well actually according to Jonathan Corbet editor of Linux Weekly News (and a kernel expert) the problem has been all along that this has not been properly brought to the attention of the kernel developers which is where the solution surely lies.
This could be achieved by a kernel literate Ubuntu user or better still a Ubuntu kernel developer lodging a detailed bug report on the main Kernel bugzilla. I would have done this but do not feel literate enough (and do not have the time) to give the relevant info needed by Linus and team. If this has been done already please disregard but point me to where exactly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760131 Title: Power consumption raised significantly in natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/760131/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
