Package: broadcom-sta-common
Version: 5.60.48.36-2
Severity: wishlist

some netbooks (like lenovo s10-3t) require kernel >2.6.37. This can be
achieved
with a squeeze system and the backported 2.6.38 kernel.
However, that device also needs the broadcom-sta driver for WLAN. The
version
5.60 included in squeeze does not compile with the backported kernel,
probably the version 5.100 in wheezy would do. Therefore, please
backport
5.100 to squeeze-backports.
The patch from broadcom is also ncecessary
