I think this bug is more important than medium. For million and million of laptop owners with the intel pro wireless (wifi), many of them kill wifi (to reduce power battery for example) After installing edgy, many of them have seen their system hangs during boot. (include me...) How many of them have reboot and reboot their system with the same result (no error displayed on the screen, system hangs)? How many of them have thought to use the recovery mode after all these attempts? (many I think) How many of them have next writen in google : 'ubuntu "soft lockup detected on CPU"' to be forward to this page or the duplicate bug page ? And finally how many of them finally abort to install edgy on their system cause to this bug, and cause they just do not think to power on the wifi before the next boot or just after the boot (and before edgy load the driver)?
