Yes.  I can understand what you are saying.  I am looking at the overall
effort here.  Yes, it probably should have been tested better or reviewed
or whatever.  And I have been in those situations where I have cursed
linux.  The average user is going to have serious problems and wonder why
did they think they could use linux instead of Windows.  Let's face it,
Windows is pretty idiot proof.

I am looking at the positive here:  The dev community rallied and pushed
out an update fast.  Clearly there is now a triage period for people that
are now debating installing Windows again.

I looked at the membership and it only really allows people that have had 6
months of contributions.  I apologize but I have a career, family and other
engagements.  I just physically don't have time to contribute and I
question what I could contribute.  Good coding takes time.  But I could
test or log into the test system and run what I run.  You need multiple
people from all disciplines to contribute to a UAT/QA environment.

I guess I won't thank Canonical, but I sincerely want to thank the devs
that fixed this problem.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  An update to the lts-vivid backported kernel (3.19.0-26) in Trusty and to the default kernel in Vivid, pulled in a commit that made pci_ignore_hotplug() GPL only. As a result, the DKMS module fails.

  [Test Case]
  Install the new packages and check that DKMS doesn't fail.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, the patches are already included wily.
