I don't think that's valid reasoning here, Alberto. Like most 'restricted' section drivers, the upstreams have to fix it (that'd be Broadcom in this case). Also, since Broadcom chips are EXTREMELY popular among manufacturers, we can't just 'close' bugs which affect a driver in a critical way. You'll need to be providing evidence that nobody will be able to fix things. If it were a case of us won't fixing driver packages bugs because we as non-privileged users with no access to driver source code, we'd have a billion closed bugs as "Won't Fix" against every single driver. ------ Thomas _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
