SW for B4 build

406.10 - has everything but new AMD X driver - that will go in tomorrow 
(406.11)

406.11 will be the B4 production build.


We must upgrade the software after B4 build but before the machines hit 
the field.
There is a wireless firmware issue that will require an update (on the 
air packet
format change related to 802.11s compatibility).  The firmware drop from 
Marvell
is in QA, we will receive the final drop on the 26th, and will get a 
preview copy
sooner.

The BTest-4 milestone is hereby declared to mean that upgrade.



Richard has an EC fix - WLAN wakeup fails after game keys are pressed.
We will not deploy this EC fix for the B4 build, but may put it in the 
B4 upgrade.

New interesting bug - #1687 - keyboard/touchpad does not generate wakeup 
events.


Blockers:

#1276 - (assigned to Eben, but jg is designing it and Bernie will 
implement it)

#1683 - possible configuration issue.  Reassign to dcbw.

#1514 - working with Quanta

#1420 - move to Trial 2.

#23 - reassign to Scott Ananian, possibly split out IPv6 component

#24 - No progress.  (Wad is spending time downgrading school server to 
not support IPv6)

#1505 - Nelson and Christine (Ivan's interns) are handling it.  It is 
moving along.

#1650 -  still in analysis


June 26 is the feature freeze date for Trial-2.

Battery life measurements:

measurements.
