Bug Description
== 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 v3.8 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 v3.8 stack:
git:/
This is based on the following:
linux-stable: git://git.
compat: https:/
compat-drivers: git://github.
This was manually created loosely following the steps documented at:
http://
Manual creation (./scripts/
I've also provided a branch to update the meta package:
git:/
== Impact ==
LBM is an elective install so there shouldn't be any potential for regression. For those who do choose to install, this will provide an updated compat wireless stack.
