The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
** Changed in: linux-meta (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Fix Committed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1165111 Title: Update Precise LBM to include v3.8 compat-wireless stack Status in linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-meta package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in linux-meta source package in Precise: Won't Fix Bug description: == Precise SRU Justification == We provide updated compat-wireless stack packages for Precise via LBM in order to allow users access to updated or newer wireless drivers while remaining under the umbrella of the LTS release. A v3.8 compat wireless stack is now available. We should provide this in LBM for Precise. ==Fix == The following branch contains a patch to add the compat-wireless v3.8 stack: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ogasawara/ubuntu-precise-lbm.git lp<tbd> This is based on the following: linux-stable: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git v3.8.3 compat: https://github.com/mcgrof/compat.git compat-v3.8.3-1 compat-drivers: git://github.com/mcgrof/compat-drivers.git compat-drivers-v3.8.3-2 This was manually created loosely following the steps documented at: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/hacking#Generating_stable_releases Manual creation (./scripts/gen-release.sh) was done because the compat-wireless archive(http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat- wireless-3-stable) did not appear to have a final v3.8 based tarball. I've also provided a branch to update the meta package: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ogasawara/ubuntu-precise-meta.git lp<tbd> == Impact == LBM is an elective install so there shouldn't be any potential for regression. For those who do choose to install, this will provide an updated compat wireless stack.
