Comment 7 for bug 621343

Hi Jeremy,

I had to skip testing Maverick .iso 'cos I have no free space.

I just completed the upstream test using these files I downloaded Sept 13 (earlier the same day as rc4 was posted):

  - linux-headers-2.6.36-020636rc3_2.6.36-020636rc3.201008300905_all.deb
  - linux-headers-2.6.36-020636rc3-generic_2.6.36-020636rc3.201008300905_i386.deb
 - linux-image-2.6.36-020636rc3-generic_2.6.36-020636rc3.201008300905_i386.deb.

sky2 came up fine as Version 1.28, and I'm pleased to report that the NIC is properly powered off by `shutdown -h now` so the issue seems to be fixed at that layer. (Spang's post 9/12 seems to suggest it still might be an issue "higher up the stack").

Anyhoo, if you want, I can redo the upstream test with rc4 and/or wait 'til newer packages are available in a few days time.

My test system has nvidia graphics and as the upstream has no driver I couldn't bring up gdm to confirm further with the extra layers like Network Manager and stuff.

Nvidia seems to be broken in Maverick, but I'll look into that some more ... maybe I can run a useful test off USB or s.t.

I suggest there's no need to rush to do the "fixed upstream" tag thing yet, but it looks good for sky2.

Ta-ta,
