** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- Need to produce a transitional binary package for LRM
+ Need an update-manager hook for bcmwl
** Changed in: bcmwl (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Description changed:
- For users upgrading from Jaunty, a transitional package needs to be made
- available so that users that have the broadcom driver installed
- currently will be properly transitioned. This transitional package
- should most likely be called "linux-restricted-modules-generic". It can
- be dropped after the next release.
+ For users upgrading from Jaunty, there needs to be a query whether the
+ 'wl' kernel module was in use. If it was, update-manager should mark
+ bcmwl-kernel-source to be installed.
+
+ More ideally, it would be best if the whole Jockey hook was ran in case
+ the blacklist file wasn't used in Jaunty but is now necessary with
+ karmic. (Some adapters now load b43/ssb in karmic even though b43
+ doesn't support them yet)
