So far we have "a symptom". We don't even know what it's related to.
That doesn't give us a "known problem with PnP"; my point in the original
response was that since we don't have any known problems with PnP, there
isn't any fixing planned right now.
I didn't mean to imply that if we can work out what's wrong, we won't fix
it - that'd be silly. Just like if I had any damn idea where to start
with the Thinkpad/PnP BIOS issue, I'd be trying to track it down. That
one has me really puzzled.
