Comment 2 for bug 242587

Hi Michael,

It looks like this has been enabled for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release:

You should be able to test using the most recent Alpha release for Intrepid. More information can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing .

As far as this being enabled for Hardy I'm not sure if it will qualify for a Stable Release Update - but I'll leave this to the discretion of the kernel team.

Also note that beginning with the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 development cycle the linux-ubuntu-modules package was actually merged with the linux kernel package. Going forward, bugs that would have been reported against linux-ubuntu-modules should now just be reported against linux. That is why I've opened the 'linux' task for this report. Thanks.
