I have the same notebook and reported to the Ubuntu bug tracker
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1182868)
solution for me is to add the PCI vendor/product IDs to the tg3 driver
there seems to be a fix in the upstream kernel, see
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/276813/
already
hope the Ubuntu folk act on this
regards, p.
