I have the exact problem answered by WILD MAN for 11.04
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1777990
if WILD MAN is still watching he may be able to help.
If not I will expand on this post to make my problem more clear for others who might potentially help.
So I blindly followed the solution instructions except this is 14.04
The result was that the last instruction caused a hang up - the cursor never came back.
The last instruction was:
sudo modprobe 43
The following is the result of the first print outs:

The first difference that I see is that
Soft Blocked = yes
instead of no.
I hope I have made it clear enough to allow someone to help.
Thanks,
