The status of "won't fix" relates to the udev package, not to the issue as a whole. As mentioned above, the problem is not the udev package; it's the kernel driver that receives the MAC address from the network interface. Consequently, "won't fix" is the correct status for the udev package.

With respect to testing with the linux-image-2.6.27-* package, we have tested by installing the package with Hardy. Unfortunately, however, that kernel breaks the video driver and the framebuffer in a manner that makes the machine unusable, so we are unable to verify whether the linux-image-2.6.27-* kernel package fixes this bug.

Happy Trails,
