[Fix]

Apply the attached fix.

[How to test]

Install (and build) the patched package.

[Regression potential]

None - upstream they moved some fields from a struct called "drvwrap" to "driver", just follow the new naming scheme.

Please also upload 4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg-0ubuntu23 or higher to oracular.

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

And please include a "modprobe" smoke test in the test plan, to make sure the module actually loads.
