[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#498132: lenny hal currently does not support debian kernel >= 2.6.27

[Vincent Danjean]

  Hi,

  I would like to know if #498132/#498478 will be fixed in lenny. This
hal bug is particular in that it will not be visible in lenny itself.
But it will prevent hal (and so network-manager) to work with wireless
if kernel >= 2.6.27 are used. So any lenny users that would like to
use a newer kernel (for new hardware, ...) will show this bug and will
not be able to use wireless network-manager connection.
  An upstream patch is available and this bug is already marked pending.
But I really do not know enough hal code to tell if this patch is intrusive
or not.
  So, please maintainers of hal, look at the upstream patch and discuss
with release-team about its interest to introduce it in lenny or not.

  Best regards,
    Vincent
