Comment 2 for bug 483657

Yes, but this is the way things are which is different from the way things should be and making people buy a new router seems to me more difficult than just not enabling a small string in a file by default, expecially if this string does nothing but causing trouble to new and unexperienced users which are a target I think ubuntu should aim to reach.

That said, I found this bug was introduced and solved in intrepid, reintroduced and solved in jaunty, reintroduced and not solved in karmic.

Well, at least, why should a dhcp3 update override that file? at least I could make an install stable, instead of having to tell all my friend how to edit the file after every update.
