Recommends linux-wlan-ng-${Source-Version}-modules which is not needed

linux-wlan-ng (Ubuntu)
Fix Released

Unassigned

Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-wlan-ng

The -modules package is not recommended or needed since the modules already come with the Ubuntu kernel (package linux-ubuntu-modules). Additionally, this Recommends breaks backported packages of linux-wlan-ng-firmware, since the resulting package version including "~release" is not parsed correctly.

  [ Tormod Volden ]
  * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Ubuntu maintainer fields in control.*
    - debian/control updates concerning modules in Ubuntu kernels
    - etc/Makefile: no hotplug agent in Ubuntu
    - etc/rc.wlan: say p80211.ko instead of p80211.o
  * debian/control.firmware: drop recommends on -modules package
    in Ubuntu (LP: #115580)
  * wlan-udev.sh: remove dbus-send call
  * debian/rules: rename local TMPDIR variable which clashes with the
    environment variable of the same name (LP: #128002)
  * Ubuntu bugs resolved in new Debian version:
    - debian/linux-wlan-ng.modprobe: enable writeable extensions for
      network-manager operation (LP: #115594)

linux-wlan-ng (0.2.8+svn1832+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Removed spurious slash in .install file (Closes: #435008)
  * Fixed prism2_* loading in case p80211 is already loaded (Closes: #429624)
  * Moved linu-wlan-ng.modules to linux-wlan-ng.modprobe so that it actually
    does something. Added option wlan_wext_write=1 for 80211 so the wireless
    extensions are turned on by default. Restored dh_installmodules.
  * Integrated ubuntu changes to /etc/wlan/wlan-udev.sh that are friendly to
    NetworkManager. This should also close 429624 since now the firmware is
    loaded at the right time and the nic should be in an usable state just
    after plugging it (Closes: #429624)
  * Removed spurious patches
  * Removed from postinst the removal of /dev/nul that used to be created in
    version << 0.1.14-13 that is so obsolete that not even oldstable has it.
    This also avoids a bogus lintian error

linux-wlan-ng (0.2.8+svn1832+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Updated to svn revision 1832 that adds support for kernel 2.6.22
    (Closes: 434703)
