nspluginwrapper works well enough for me on Ubuntu, but this
isn't a kernel problem. (It seems to work better for me in Chrome
than ff but hey that's another problem again).

Since there isn't an announced date for if a 64bit version is going
to be available (only a fluffy statement that they intend to do one)
it's a case of having to move back to 32.
