P
SRU request:
[Impact]
* As a result of this bug, bcmwl-kernel-source will fail to build the
module against linux-generic-lts-raring in Ubuntu 12.04.
[Test Case]
* Enable the precise-proposed repository and install bcmwl-kernel-
source (6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.2).
* Install linux-generic-lts-raring
* If the package installs without errors from DKMS with both the
linux-generic and lts-raring kernels, then the patches work correctly.
[Regression Potential]
* The patches that I backported from 13.10 will preserve the current
driver behaviour on linux-generic (3.2) and linux-generic-lts-quantal
(3.5), thanks to the use of specific macros in the code which check
the kernel version. As a result, no regressions of any kind can be
expected on these kernels.
