Comment 22 for bug 288148

Please people, venting your frustation here doesn't help anyone.

1) this was discussed publicly (ubuntu-devel and kernel-team lists)
2) this was enabled and removed within a development cycle
3) there are workarounds (madwifi, lbm)

It's too late for the 8.10 release now; let's focus on:
- improving the next release
- fixing the most severe regressions via SRUs

If your card doesn't work with lbm's ath5k and it used to work with older ath5k, please open a new bug report with lspci -vvnn >lspci.txt, and dmesg output of failing and succeeding boots with the version of the packages you used in both cases.

Thanks,
