** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Karmic)
Status: Triaged => Fix Committed
** Description changed:
+ SRU Justification:
+
+ Impact: We were talked into enable that for Karmic by users with broken
+ applications without realizing the side-effect of breaking udev (as it
+ implicitely changes event behavior).
+
+ Fix: Revert back to not have this option enabled. It is deprecated
+ anyways and applications need to be fixed sooner than later.

This option is incompatible with the udev in karmic and lucid, leading
to failure to load firmware files for various pieces of USB kit. It is
also now deprecated and going away very shortly. We should therefore
re-disable it. More details are in the thread below:

Although older versions of Virtualbox and VMWare needed it we do not
believe that current versions use it.
