 Replying to [comment:1 dcbw]:
 > What's the status on this?

 We have compiled it in the firmware now. You will see this in the next
 formal release.

 > When can we get firmware with this compiled in, and why wasn't it built
 in in the first place?

 This was by design. We had raised this in priority internally, allocated
 the necessary time from our engineering team and fixed it in due time. Our
 firmware has evolved a lot after we started working on the OLPC project
 but not all the important changes can propagate in the firmware that OLPC
 is using because of lack of memory space and proximity of the production
 dates.

 By the way, why is this a blocker? A blocker in my mind is something that
 stops builds in a bad way. I dont see this to be a cause of any issue.
