The kernel from intrepid-proposed did not fix this problem.

I followed the steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed and ran
# apt-get install -t intrepid-proposed linux
# shutdown -r now new kernel

This is the version that was installed:
ii linux-image-generic 2.6.27.7.11 Generic Linux kernel image
