[Bug 1408821] Re: Unstable Wi-Fi

 

Curiously though, it seems my WiFi connection has been stable since
yesterday, when I installed the new kernel. So I have added the tags you
asked and marked the bug as Fix-Commited.

What are the next steps for me now, do I keep running this kernel until
it's replaced by automatic updates or should I remove it at some point?

Thanks,
Diogo
