Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package laptop-mode-tools There have been multiple reports of the e1000e driver causing trouble for users. This has been well reported in dbug #677638. It has been requested by many users that LMT should, by default, disable the power saving switch for ethernet device. This patch sets the ethernet knob to be disabled by default. There's also a minor diff touching the debian-changes file. Please note that in the 1.61-1 release itself debian-changes was not is use. So that change should not be a concern. unblock laptop-mode-tools/1.61-1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.6-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
