Need to produce bcmwl-modaliases package

[Mario Limonciello]

Currently Jockey is unable to know when to install bcmwl-kernel-source in Karmic. The bcmwl source package needs to produce a bcmwl-modaliases package for Jockey to depend upon to allow this to happen. Inside this modaliases package a flat text file will provide the modalias information in the standard Jockey location.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Look at the nvidia-180-modaliases package as an example. bcmwl-modaliases needs to ship a file

  /usr/share/jockey/modaliases/bcmwl

with lines like

 alias pci:v000010DEd00000040sv*sd*bc03sc*i* wl bcmwl-kernel-source

This bug was fixed in the package bcmwl - 5.10.91.9+bdcom-0ubuntu1

---------------
bcmwl (5.10.91.9+bdcom-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - Add misc:Depends.
    - Update Standards-Version.
    - Depend on linux-headers-generic for i386 and amd64
      and on linux-headers-lpia for lpia.
    - Limit architectures to i386 amd64 and lpia.
    - Set Vcs-Bzr.
    - Add new package bcmwl-modaliases.
    - Change maintainer to Ubuntu Core Devs and set
      original maintainer to myself.
  * debian/copyright:
    - Add license from the binary library.
  * debian/rules
    - Switch to CDBS.
    - Do not apply any patches.
    - Automatically generate debian/dkms.conf and
      debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.install.
    - Call debian/bcmwl_supported to install
      modalias file in /usr/share/jockey/modaliases (LP: #381682)
  * src/patches:
    - Move patches directory to debian/patches.
  * debian/patches/0002-Makefile.patch:
    - Replace dpkg-architecture with dpkg --print-architecture
      so as not to depend on dpkg-dev.
  * debian/dkms.conf.in:
    - Handle patches here so that different patches
      can be applied to different kernel versions.
  * Separate source from debian/.
  * debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.postinst:
    - Cover the use case of buildd machines and build the
      module for the right kernel on 1st installation.
    - Create a blacklist file containing b43, b43legacy, ssb
      bcm43xx and add workaround for b44 so that it is loaded
      after wl (provided that b44 is used).
    - Update initramfs.
  * debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.postrm:
    - Remove blacklist file.
    - Update initramfs.
  * debian/patches:
    - Add 0004-broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-linux-2.6.30.patch.
  * debian/dkms.conf.in:
    - Make sure that patch 0004 is applied only to
      2.6.30 kernels.
