Comment 17 for bug 272896

I just wanted to add some additional information for the Ubuntu kernel team to reference. The following is a small excerpt from the upstream bug report

"We'll put the latest patch (from comment #58) and it soon makes to 2.6.28-rcsomething and hopefully with a semi-short delay to some 2.6.27.y, whichever y is appropriate at that time. I hope that the ubuntu kernel people will then include that as well but it's beoynd my control what they do."

The patch referenced can be seen here:

Being that the Intrepid kernel is frozen because we are so close to Intrepid's final release we might not be able to squeeze this patch in before final. However, I've gone ahead and opened an Intrepid nomination so that if we miss getting this into Intrepid final we'll already have the SRU process going so that we can try to get this in for the first post Intrepid kernel upload. Thanks.
