Karmic carries the driver in the ubuntu modules

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Released

** Description changed:

+ SRU justification:
+ 
+ Impact: Lenovo-SL laptops are missing some important functionality as
+ the thinkpad-acpi driver does not support these models.
+ 
+ Fix: For Intrepid and Jaunty we add this driver to the backports-modules
+ package, for Karmic it was included in the ubuntu-modules (in the
+ kernel-package)
+ 
+ Testcase: see below
+ 
+ ---
+ 
  Please add driver for Lenovo SL Thinkpads to kernel. Those laptops are not 
really Thinkpads, and without additional driver they are half-working. Things 
which won't function properly without driver:
  - bluetooth
  - volume keys
  - brightness control
  
  Not working volume keys are minor thing, but no functioning BT and
  brightness are real issues.
  
  Driver is available here: 
http://github.com/tetromino/lenovo-sl-laptop/tree/master
  It compiles without problem with Jaunty Beta kernel, I've tested it on 
Thinkpad SL500.
  It is being proposed for inclusion in kernel proper: 
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7427/
  Additionaly, as it only adding functionality, it won't cause any regressions.
