Public bug reported: == Precise SRU Justification == We provide updated compat-wireless stack packages for Precise via LBM in order to allow users access to updated or newer wireless drivers while remaining under the umbrella of the LTS release . A v3.7 compat wireless stack is now available. We should provide this in LBM for Precise.
==Fix == The following branch contains a patch to add the compat-wireless v3.7 stack: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ogasawara/ubuntu-precise-lbm.git lp<tbd> This is based on the following: linux-stable: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git v3.7.9 compat: https://github.com/mcgrof/compat.git compat-v3.7.9-1 compat-drivers: git://github.com/mcgrof/compat-drivers.git compat-drivers-v3.7.9-1 This was manually created loosely following the steps documented at: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/hacking#Generating_stable_releases Manual creation (./scripts/gen-release.sh) was done because the compat- wireless archive(http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat- wireless-3-stable) did not appear to have a final v3.7 based tarball. I've also provided a branch to update the meta package: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ogasawara/ubuntu-precise-meta.git lp<tbd> == Impact == LBM is an elective install so there shouldn't be any potential for regression. For those who do choose to install, it will provide an updated compat wireless stack. ** Affects: linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Medium Assignee: Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara) Status: In Progress ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Medium Assignee: Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara) Status: In Progress ** Also affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 (Ubuntu Precise) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: (unassigned) => Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara) ** Changed in: linux-meta (Ubuntu Precise) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux-meta (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux-meta (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: (unassigned) => Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1165084 Title: Update Precise LBM to include v3.7 compat-wireless stack To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-3.2.0/+bug/1165084/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
