Hi Geir, hope you had a good holiday!

That's what frustrates me about this bug. Given how common Intel onboard
video is, especially in business-class systems, you'd expect the driver
for it to be particularly stable---and if there's a problem with it,
that it would get fixed quickly. If there were a kernel-panic bug in the
Intel NIC driver, how quickly would that get addressed?

My point was, it's the lack of a response that says as much. Whether or
not this bug is fixed on Lucid shouldn't depend on some random Linux
guru taking the initiative. Ubuntu is their product; where are they on
this?

Anyway, for now, are the three freezetestN kernels still in need of
testing, or should I move on to the drivers in Brian Rogers' PPA?
(Presumably with the latest mainline kernel?)
