Does 2.9.0 will go to karmic ?

Asked by Javier Barroso on 2009-09-30

I think many bugs are related to 2.8.0 version are fixed in new upstream version

Will go to karmic ?

Major fixes in 2.9.0 compared to 2.8.0
======================================
* Multiple fixes to make the driver stable for 8xx chipsets, (855GM,
865G, etc.). The 2.8 driver series was extremely unstable with many
of these chipsets.
