Title:
Add comapt-wireless v3.6 stack to Quantal LBM
Status in linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 source package in Quantal:
Invalid
Status in linux-meta source package in Quantal:
Invalid
Bug description:
== Quantal SRU Justification ==
We have been providing newer compat-wireless stacks in previous releases via
LBM. It has been requested to do the same for Quantal. Now that v3.6 is
available, provide the newer v3.6 compat-wireless stack via
linux-backports-modules-3.5.0
Additionally, we have been providing the alx driver in previous Precise LBM
compat-wireless stacks. alx has still not made it upstream yet. Continuing to
provide this driver via the Quantal LBM v3.6 compat-wireless stack will enable
users to continue to use the alx driver.
== Impact ==
There should be no risk of regression since this is a purely elective
install. This has been build and install tested.
== Fix ==
There are two pull requests for this. The first pull request officially
opens the ubuntu-quantal-lbm repo, removes obsolete code, and then adds the
compat-wireless v3.6 stack. I'd note that the patch opening the repo for
Quantal assumes this would be uploaded with the first Quantal kernel SRU, ie
the 3.5.0-18 kernel. We'll also need help from one of our resident core-devs
to get this uploaded the first time. Afterwards we can request the
linux-backports-modules-3.5.0 package to be added to our list of kernel package
upload rights. The second pull request adds the corresponding linux-meta
package entries and again takes into account the ABI bump for the first Quantal
SRU.
