NonfreeKernelModules: ath_hal

Hello Petri.
Thanks for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Wubi and Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2009 regarding Thunderbird and there have been several versions of ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? Or, if it is still a problem, could you come to Launchpad and make a comment to that effect?

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

Hi,

Thanks for quick reply back under 10 years, I really appreciate it.

Unfortunately I don’t currently have Ubuntu 8.10 at hand and I’m unable to verify this.

I don’t think this is a problem anymore for me and this ticket can be closed.

Best regards,
Petri
