The FAQ (from upstream) is not up to date, since linux-wlan-ng is not needed for anything any longer. After the prism2_usb moved to the kernel tree, the upstream linux-wlan-ng was abandoned so it will likely not be updated. I don't think it is important enough to patch the FAQ in Debian. If you follow the recommendation in the package description, you'll not read the FAQ :) Barring any kernel driver bugs, using prism2-usb-firmware-installer should be equivalent to or better than the old linux-wlan-ng-* packages. > > In the Description we also read: > > This package ships legacy utilities and scripts for advanced configuration > and > user-space firmware downloading (support for non-USB devices). > > However, PRISM2DL=/sbin/prism2dl mentioned on /etc/wlan/shared.prism2 > does not exist. /sbin/prism2dl is included in the linux-wlan-ng-firmware-files package (produced when you run the linux-wlan-ng-build-firmware-deb command from the linux-wlan-ng-firmware package). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
