</div></div>Hi Alan,<br>
<br>
I did a bunch of fixes for the 950q, including a couple of race<br>
conditions at startup that were occurring with recent kernels. You<br>
need to be running at least kernel 3.7 in order to get those fixes. I<br>
know they aren't in 12.04 (which has kernel 3.2), but haven't looked<br>
up what kernels are in different versions of Mint.<br>
<br>
In short, get kernel 3.7 or later, and if you still see problems come<br>
back to the mailing list.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Devin<br>
