  • bcmwl (6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low
    
      [ 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).

  • bcmwl (5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu6.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.postinst:
        - Blacklist brcmfmac, brcmsmac and bcma so that they don't
          conflict with the closed driver (LP: #873117)

  • bcmwl (5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu6) precise; urgency=high
    
      * Update to match switch to PAE kernel by default in precise for i386
        (LP: #986475)
        - Depend on linux-headers-generic-pae on i386 instead of
          linux-headers-generic so that the right headers are available to build
          the driver
      * Drop long obsolete lpia specific depends on linux-headers-lpia

      [ Daniel van Vugt ]
