It's not really strange. 2.6.16 was released March 20th and the Dapper release was originally scheduled for April 15th. It was pushed back to June 1st so bugs could be fixed. That's not nearly enough time to regression test a new kernel. The Ubuntu kernel maintainers do pick up and backport kernel bug fixes that are important to their users, for example all the HDA intel fixes between ALSA 1.0.11-rc2 and 1.0.11 are in the Dapper kernel. I suspect this one simply did not make the cut as so few people have the hardware. Of course, they may pick it up if someone sends them a patch. Are you aware of any showstopper bugs missing from the Dapper kernel that are fixed in 2.6.16?
