Comment 22 for bug 114793

For UVF exception:
The new package from Debian has no new features, mainly things from Ubuntu has been merged in and several long-standing smaller bugs have been fixed. It will also make network-manager work with these cards, which I think is important and in line with Gutsy's release goals.

The upstream changes in the new version are mainly support for the 2.6.22 kernel.

Finally, this new Ubuntu version will close all open linux-wlan-ng bugs, and bring us up to date with Debian and upstream, so we'll have less "luggage" to carry in Ubuntu.

Changes relative to the current version in Ubuntu:
 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
