Interesting. Where we have got to with the bug fix is a suggestion to update the firmware in my router ... but I am nervous of doing this because I have heard it can kill the router if anything goes wrong; and we rely on it for two desktops and three laptops! So I am wondering whether having to power off using the hardware button rather than Ubuntu's shutdown command is such a big deal....
