Ethernet and sound problem on IBM X20

[Christian Casimir]

Hi,

Thanks Peter ! Yet, what does it imply ? Is something soon going to be 
done in respect to this problem by our favorite Ubuntu gurus ? ;-) Shall 
I just wait ? If yes, when does the developers' team reckon this will be 
done ?

Thanks anyway ! Unbuntu's what I've dreamed of for some years now, and 
I'm not going to let myself undermined by bugs (even if it's starting to 
bug me...)

Christian C.
