Hi kernel team, I intend to package the stable versions of compat-wireless and compat-drivers (when available) as module-assistant packages, starting with compat-wireless 3.5.4. The reason I am using module-assistant (instead of dkms) is so that embedded users of debian can compile & distribute kernel module packages without needing a compiler on the embedded device. I am starting with 3.5.4 because I have already packaged it for my company and have tested it internally with the squeeze kernel.
