linux-wlan-ng is missing on amd64

[Martin Pitt]

The new shiny kernel 2.6.8.1 kernel comes along with the Prism WLAN driver.
However, this driver does not support iwconfig (it works, but only to _read_
values). It comes along with its own configuration tool wlanctl-ng, which Debian
packages in 'linux-wlan-ng'.

Without this package, the prism driver is pretty useless. Can we add it to
supported? Or shall it remain in universe?

As discussed, the userland is rather a mess, so we won't include it just yet.
Perhaps revisit for Hoary.

Hi,

Although present on i386, linux-wlan-ng is missing on amd64, it shouldn't be too
much of a problem to compile the package for amd64.

A package with amd64 support has been uploaded. James Troup has been asked to
add it to
the list of packages for the amd64 port, so it should be in the archive fairly soon.
