Ok. I tried doing some bisections. Here are the following kernels I attempted (all were Lucid/10.04 kernels since that's the last time I had any accurate batter info). 2.6.38-10.44 (pae)- failed, unmet repositories - no battery, no networking) 2.6.32-53.115 (pae) - no battery detected, issued

Christopher, Saucy had the same issues as Precise with one exception: Saucy, like Precise did recognize the battery on boot but would not update status (icon etc wouldn't change when I plugged in AC power) and, when on battery, charge amount/time was not updated. I would, thus, assume that I
