Bug#285017: marked as done (kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686: upgrading from v2 to v6 slows down my modem)
reopen 285017
thanks
Hi Maximilian,
its still a bug in the 2.4.27 package. It may or may not be fixable.
And the patch may or may not be appropriate for Sarge.
My current preference for handling problems like this,
is firstly to encourage the user to use a more up to date kernel.
Secondly downgrading feature requests (which this isn't) to
wishlist. And lastly ascertianing what if a fix exists,
and if so either adding it to SVN or marking the bug as +wontfix
accordingly. +wontfix is also my prefered option for bugs that
we think are too hard.
While I don't like clutter in the BTS, I think closing bugs just
opens the door for duplicates to be subsequently filed, and
I'm not sure that helps anyone.
On a related note, your work cleaning out bugs for 2.6.10, 11 and
other soon to be removed from the archive kernels is excellent.
I am really pleased about the way that is going. Its something
that has needed to be done for a while.
