Thanks. I'll look into that possibility. I did find another thread on
the internet with people who were having similar issues, at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/424142
I found this after I had entered the command "dmesg | grep BAR" and
came up with a string that corresponded to some of the entries at the
aforementioned site. The solution provided there was to upgrade, but
given that I don't have access to the internet with that laptop, I
wasn't able to test that proposed solution.
