"I'm sorry, but just no. You clearly didn't think that through: if they are affected by this issue then they won't be able to get the updated kernel, surely you thought of this? The whole point of the release candidate stage is to catch critical bugs and this bug /is/ critical as you are prevented from updating your installation and so cannot EVER be free of the bug short of downloading the packages to USB. Please correct me if I'm wrong..."

Exactly. How the heck are people affected by this problem going to update the kernel, at some future time, if they can't connect to the update server or seek help if they can't connect to Ubuntu Forum? As we say here in southwest Virginia...that dog don't hunt. BTW, my Verizon DSL modem is only 3 years old (Westell 6100).
