Removing Jaunty target for this bug.

We already have blacklisting for the 830 and 845 chips, so there is nothing more for us to do at the distro level.

As these pre-855 chips are obsolete, upstream does not prioritize support for them, thus it is not expected that the root issue will be fixed by upstream. The level of effort required for fixing 8xx issues is greater than can be done at the distro level (such time is better invested in the more commonly used 9xx chips).

However, I'm not going to wontfix the entire bug, in case community members wish to work on the bug. If a community developer comes up with a good patch for the problem, I'd be open to including it for Ubuntu (particularly if the patch is also accepted upstream.) But even if this happens, it's too late for inclusion in Jaunty.
