If you think I did not, please explain clearly.

I re-read your comment 7 and my understanding is that you requested two
things of me: (a) run apport; and (b) run a newer kernel.  I did (a) in
comments #8 to #23 on March 31; and I did (b), which was much more
onerous, on May 7 in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/738657/comments/28

I did not "blatanty disregard" what was requested of me.  I surely
misunderstood it.  Misunderstandstanding come from mis-communication or
from non-communication.  Your change of the status to INCOMPLETE without
explanation is non-communication.  It does not explain (a) what you
think that I did wrong; (b) why you are of different opinion than Brad
(who set the status to CONFIRMED); and (c) what you would like me to do
to fix the report.

If you think that what I did is not enough (or if you think that I did
not do anything and that I am blatantly disregarding what you requested
of me), you have to tell me in more detail what you would like me to do,
else I can only second-guess and assume your intention.  Simply
insisting that INCOMPLETE is the appropriate status seems to me to serve
only one purpose:  ignoring the bug until it expires from the tracker,
wiping it under the carpet and hoping that nobody else will notice.

My assumptions are:
(1) the kernel in 12.04 is newer than the latest development image on March 31; 
and probably also newer than the latest upstream kernel on that same day, so it 
is enough to test with the kernel in 12.04.
(2) my hardware has not changed and so there is nothing new to be added by 
running apport again.
(3) if I made a mistake, I will be told how to fix it.


> so that your problem may be addressed.

Let's be clear: it is not my problem.  My problem was fixed with the
blacklisting of the faulty modules.  I am satisfied with my machine as
it works now.  Even if that solution was not available to me, I have
easy alternatives to address "my" problem, including running Windows
(which I anyway paid for when I bought the notebook).  LibreOffice,
Firefox, Thunderbird, and the other apps I need run equally well in
Windows.  My interest in seing this bug fixed is much smaller than the
interest of those whose reputation is at stake for producing and
distributing malfunctioning software.
