Yes. Sorry for the confusion.

My Netbook was on 11.10 and has always worked fine until the upgrade to 12.04.
My MythTV box is on 11.10 and doesn't work. I had never tried it on this box until a few weeks ago.
It works on 2 different Windows 7 PCs.
Are you sure you don't have some insidious packages attacking the device looking for other things as I have had a few times?
It's got to be some thing like that. Still looking but I haven't had much time to find it yet.

Try removing upower and reloading the drivers, excuse the level of violent want-to-kill-other-developer rage present in this thread:

Yep upower was the problem.

All working again. :D
