At this point, it seems pretty clear to me that no one is really working on this for Jaunty; if you must use Januty, the only thing I can suggest is to use a mainline kernel --- any mainline kernel, whether it is 2.6.28, 2.6.29, or 2.6.30 will work fine. The problem seems to be in Canonical's backports of patches to the 2.6.28 kernel, and the only people who could work on it are busy working on the Karmic release and/or the Karmic kernel. Those of us (like myself) who are working on the upstream ext4 are busy working on the latest set of improvements and bug fixes that will go into 2.6.31 or 2.6.32.

For those of you who need some proprietary drivers, I'm sorry to say, the only thing you can really do is wait for them to become ported to the Karmic kernel (or port them yourself).
