I booted the 3.11 kernel (uname said 3.11.0-031100rc2-generic) and used the Packard Bell EasyNote LV a bit, after booting it with i915.invert_brightness=1 instead of using the acpi_backlight=vendor setting, but with this kernel too the network card stopped working after some minutes. I am not sure, but believe it took a bit longer than earlier before it locked up.
