Thanks Reinette,

I haven't played around much with ucode, linux modules, dirver and
applying patches. Do you have a suggestion for a good primer. I will
try to make sense of that ridiculously long bug when i get a chance.
Assuming I am able to install and patch, if the device drops off
again, are there any specific logs I should keep an eye on to help
test this patch?
