Comment 76 for bug 84603

Has there been any more word from developers in regards to when/if this issue will be resolved WITHOUT the need to crossflash? As stated above, this does appear to be an issue with the linux kernel, hald, etc. And in particular, this issue does not appear in MS Windows. Crossflashing is not only an impractical and impossible task to ask the majority of Ubuntu's target base to do, but also runs the risk of voiding one's warranty or leaving one's hardware inoperable.

Can a developer at least clarify whether this issue is occuring in the linux-kernel, or hald, smartmond, etc. so we can refocus our efforts?
