[ Alberto Milone ]
* New upstream release (LP: #923809).
* Add 0004-Add-support-for-Linux-3.2.patch:
- Make sure the patch can always be applied.
* Add 0005-Add-support-for-Linux-3.4.0.patch:
- Thanks to Eugene San for the patch (LP: #994255).
* debian/control:
- Drop all the dependencies on the linux-headers.
* debian/dkms.conf.in:
- Always apply all patches (LP: #1020059).
[ Martin Pitt ]
* debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.postinst:
- Silence the errors from rmmod about the modules not being
loaded. This is fully expected, and just causes confusion,
as well as autopkgtest failures.
- Mirror the actions of the installed modprobe.d files,
i.e. rmmod the b43 driver and try to modprobe wl, so
that this package works right after installation.
(LP: #1065827)
- Drop duplicate #DEBHELPER# token. It does not currently
expand to anything, but it looks confusing.
* debian/rules, debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.modaliases:
- Drop parsing of src/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c, as the current
upstream version dropped all useful vendor matches in its
pci_device_id struct and now has a broken modalias. Keep
a static debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.modaliases instead
which matches on any Broadcom network device (vendor 14E4
class 02 subclass 80). This brings back a proper
"Modaliases:" package header (LP: #1089943).
