Comment 61 for bug 446146

Hi again, I would like to express some thoughts, just to be 'fair' and 'typical':

a. this is not a 'forum' but a 'bug report system'
>>> the 'bug' reported, a fix found and it is on the way to be established

b. most users above CAN FIX the problem as they involved in testing pre-released KK
>>> they/we complain about the BAD situation for a newcomer who has 3G (mobile) or land-wireless broadband as their main internet connection

c. #446146 is a real BUG as in many cases the creation/disconnection of the CDROM and/or ttyUSBx is looping (dmesg has new lines) and sometimes system freezes

d. this bug found 'in time' (8-Oct), discussed and confirmed at ubuntuforums.org and then reported at launchpad following the 'typical' procedure. Confirmed by developers and a patch released. This patch tested and found working (or at least 'working enough') 'in time' (12-Oct)

e. Kernel Freeze came at 15-Oct without this fix!

f. Possibly the purpose of this thread ('bug report') fulfilled after comment #16-20

P.S.: Release of 9.04 had wvdial removed from final .iso and a lot of dial-up users faced a major problem!
