Changelog

pcmciautils (015-1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Install udev rules in /lib/udev/rules.d.
    - Move init script from S40 to S13.
    - Depend on udev rather than merely recommending it.
    - debian/init: Slightly more efficient KERNEL_VERSION computation,
      avoiding sed.
    - debian/init: Use -q for modprobe instead of -Q.

pcmciautils (015-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Simplified the setting of sysfs attributes; requires udev 098.
  * Vcs-Bzr is now an official field.
  * Add a Homepage field.
  * Don't link pcmcia-check-broken-cis against libsysfs; dpkg-shlibdeps
    reports that it doesn't need it.
  * The init script should either print a message and exit non-zero, or be
    silent and exit zero, not somewhere in between. Of the cases where the
    init script bails out, having an old kernel or not having udev enabled
    are more or less error cases, but not having configured a bridge module
    probably just means that you're on hardware that doesn't need this.
    Regularise our output to make sense in light of this. Thanks to Kel
    Modderman for reporting this.
  * Upgrade to debhelper v7.
  * Only list udev in init script's Should-Start, not Required-Start, and
    require $local_fs to start first instead (thanks, Petter Reinholdtsen;
    closes: #548621).
  * Start init script before networking if possible (thanks, Petter
    Reinholdtsen).
  * Attempt to cope slightly better with udev not being installed (closes:
    #419172).
  * Refer to versioned GPL file in debian/copyright.

pcmciautils: PCMCIA utilities for Linux 2.6

 This package provides PCMCIA initialisation tools for Linux 2.6.13-rc1 or
 later, replacing the old pcmcia-cs tools used with earlier kernel versions.
 PCMCIA cards are commonly used in laptops to provide expanded capabilities
 such as network connections, modems, increased memory, etc.
 .
 To use PCMCIA you need to have kernel modules available to support
 it. These are included in the stock Debian 2.6 kernel packages. You
 will most likely also need udev, although it isn't always required.
 .
 The wireless-tools package is required by many wireless network adapters.
