How many times did you resend the bug report? Did you report all the required information? Were you able to isolate the failing subsystem? Was there a working kernel version? Did you try to isolate the changeset that introduced the bug? Sometimes you have to complain many times and do a bit of investigative work yourself. There are plenty of bug reports on LKML which are being ignored because the original reported fails to follow up on the problem.

Perhaps you could complain to your vendor?
