Probably I'll never understand these ubuntu kernel packages and how they
relate. If I take a look at the changelog of yesterdays updates to my
machine via 'apt-get changelog linux-image-generic' you can see the
changelog entry which caught my attention:
linux-meta (3.0.0.16.19) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low
[ Leann Ogasawara ]
* Add compat-wireless v3.2 meta package
- LP: #918351
As I look at it now I noticed that the changelog actually belongs to a package
called linux-meta:
http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/canonical_kernel_team/oneiric/main/base/linux-meta
>From the description: This package is just an umbrella for a group of other
>packages, it has no description.
Description samples from packages in group: -Backported wireless drivers for
generic kernel image ...
This probably explains why I got the backported drivers although I have
NOT installed linux-backports-cw or any other backports. I checked it
with 'dpkg -l |grep backport'. Probably worth to say is that I have
installed linux-firmware which is mentioned in the compat-wireless
package.
