The "gutsy-updates" milestone is used to mark bugs which are being considered for an update to 7.10; there is no schedule associated with it (despite what Launchpad may say). -- - mdz -- iwl4965 drops out from time to time (Santa Rosa) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
