Comment 14 for bug 215604

tuxo:
If you look at the top of the page, you'll see that it was declined for Intrepid, probably for the following two reasons:
1) It was requested too late in the development cycle
2) It would require that the kernel team maintain an out-of-tree driver, which can be a generally unpleasant situation for them

When this driver joins the mainline upstream kernel, it'll certainly be included with whatever Ubuntu release follows that, but before then, nothing is guaranteed.
