Not wishing to belittle your perception of the importance of this issue, but it never ceases to amaze me how so many bugs are "critical" or "show stoppers". There was a lengthy thread about how the cd ripping application has a bug recently. There were a lot of unnecessarily bad comments on the bug report about how the fact that a dialog box doesn't close under normal circumstances, is a show stopper! > Changing network manager so that it only scans for access points, when > the card is not connected to an access point seems to fix the problem. > > This bug has seriously turned some people off Ubuntu but no-one seems > to want to take responsibility for it... > Have you had a word with the people who can actually _do_ something about it? The developers. Maybe you should drop by #ubuntu-devel or the network manager channel and speak nicely to the devs to see what you can get done. They are people after all, with their own priorities, aims and objectives.
