You are not right. I had totaly disfunctional Intel driver on two laptops and 
reported about issue to Intel. Yes it took time, they took all debugs and 
went coma mode (i was thinking that), but suddently i got mail from them, and 
next kernel/firmware release worked for me flawlessly. So they did perfect 
job.

Don't be negative and prepare yourself for giving long debug outputs. Patience 
and only patience.
