Yes, the status is still "In progress".

Note that the mainline kernel's don't seem to be exhibiting this issue
(or at least orders of magnitude less often), so installing a 2.6.29
kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ will
probably get you up and running (presuming your hardware is supported
by a stock kernel + dkms modules).
