it happened on 3.12 as well (not sure but I think it was 3.12-1) problem is that update brick my machine (it is very dificult to revert back to the old kernel)

Install the lts kernel and if it works use that as a backup when you try a new kernel.

3.10.10-1 - and it works, it broke around 3.11,

currently I have 3.10.10-1, I will learn how to back it up to prevent penalty
