Hello Ronny,

first of all, I understand that this is an frustrating and serious issue for 
you (WLAN on my notebook isn't functional as well). But this is not a security 
issue, since a broken WLAN doesn't imply any kind of compromising of your 
system. There is no way of breaking into your system or any sensible data being 
exposed due to a WLAN driver not behaving the way it should. No malicious 
attacker could exploit this fact and attack your system/data/privacy. This is 
why that's just not a security issue.
The security flag is not to indicate how severe/important a bug is (this is 
what the "Importance" flag is).

There are currently 45323 open bugs here for the Ubuntu project. I'm
sure a developer will take care of this bug, but it might take a little
time due to the high number of bugs. Hardy has just be released which
naturally causes a huge wave of new bugs being reported. So please bear
this in mind, since your ticket is just a few days old. No one sweeps
anything under the carpet (your bug report is still open and viewable by
everyone), you just aren't the only one having issues with Hardy,
especially at this particular moment.

PS: I'm in no way officially affiliated with Ubuntu, nor am I a
developer. I'm just a ordinary user who tries to help out a bit. All my
statements are made just from personal experience with Ubuntu/other open
source projects.
