Comment #1 From Alan 2012-09-07 15:34:27 Whoever said that was wrong in this case I think. It's up to Ubuntu what backports it ships in its 3.2 kernels Status sent to "resolved invalid". So... seems to me this needs to get resolved in an LTS, given that an increasing number of laptops are using this chip. Am I wrong? ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #47161 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47161 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927782 Title: include the Atheros AR8131/AR8151/AR8152/AR8161/AR8162 Ethernet driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/927782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
