Add comapt-wireless v3.6 stack to Quantal LBM

[James M. Leddy]

== Quantal SRU Justification ==
We have been providing newer compat-wireless stacks in previous releases via LBM. It has been requested to do the same for Quantal. Now that v3.6 is available, provide the newer v3.6 compat-wireless stack via linux-backports-modules-3.5.0

Additionally, we have been providing the alx driver in previous Precise LBM compat-wireless stacks. alx has still not made it upstream yet. Continuing to provide this driver via the Quantal LBM v3.6 compat-wireless stack will enable users to continue to use the alx driver.

== Impact ==
There should be no risk of regression since this is a purely elective install. This has been build and install tested.

== Fix ==
There are two pull requests for this. The first pull request officially opens the ubuntu-quantal-lbm repo, removes obsolete code, and then adds the compat-wireless v3.6 stack. I'd note that the patch opening the repo for Quantal assumes this would be uploaded with the first Quantal kernel SRU, ie the 3.5.0-18 kernel. We'll also need help from one of our resident core-devs to get this uploaded the first time. Afterwards we can request the linux-backports-modules-3.5.0 package to be added to our list of kernel package upload rights. The second pull request adds the corresponding linux-meta package entries and again takes into account the ABI bump for the first Quantal SRU.

I'm not sure this bug refers to the same problem I'm seeing.

Precise received 3.5 kernel from Quantal, but linux-backports-modules-cw-3.x-3.5 in precise-backports repositories seem to be missing, there are CW backports for 3.2 kernel ranging from 3.3 up to 3.8, but nothing for the 3.5 series kernel.

I've a laptop (HP 650) which needs at least 3.6 cw to get wi-fi working, had to manually download and install a CW 3.6-3.5 .deb package from Quantal repositories, it works fine but a manual download and install is needed at every kernel update.

Is this bug refering to this problem?

Declined for Quantal as EoL.
