Well yes, that's certainly how it's being treated in the bug report, and that's what I'm explaining is a problem. There are many discrete bugs being discussed in this one bug report - to be able to make headway on any of them, the developers need to be able to track, work on, and propose fixes for each of these bugs individually, otherwise it's impossible to know when we're making progress (and impossible to divide up the work between developers, even when the bugs have unrelated causes). I'm not just being contrary here, I'm speaking as a developer who is trying to wade through the many unrelated comments in this report and extract some semblance of order to be able to help the people who have commented to get their various bugs fixed - because ultimately that /is/ what I'm trying to do. Treating each bug separately helps us do that. Lumping all the unrelated or distantly related bugs into a single bug report does not; it just makes it more likely that some of the problems will be overlooked. > By trying to open a new bug report for each chipset hides the fact that > no one can connect to a hidden SSID This is not a fact. With the current versions of the kernel and network-manager, there are many users who *can* connect to hidden SSIDs, and the remaining issues need to be handled on a per-chipset basis. -- can't connect to hidden network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
