* Update non-legacy NVIDIA driver to 1.0.8762, legacy still at 1.0.7174:
  - Added support for QuadroFX 4500 X2, FX 5500, FX 3500, and FX 1500.
  - Confirmed that it fixes dual DVI connections, which weren't working
    at all in the last driver, on any card (closes: launchpad.net/42258)
  - Confirmed that this new version can drive several laptops sporting
    5x00go chipsets that both the previous drivers refused to work with.
* Update fglrx to 8.25.18, now claiming to "officially" support Xorg 7.0:
  - Add support for FireGL V7350, V7300, V7200, V5200, V3400, V3350, V2200.
  - Confirmed that running two simultaneous Xservers no longer hardlocks.
  - Fixes segfaults on Xserver init with several of the new X1xxx cards.
  - Confirmed fix for shutdown hangs on at least two different machines.
  - Confirmed fix for hangs on VT switch on my ATI Radeon Mobility M300.
* Make nvidia-glx and xorg-driver-fglrx provide xserver-xorg-driver, so
  people can remove all their other drivers and streamline their systems.
* Only build ltmodem on the 386 kernel, as it's been shown to not behave
  on SMP kernels, causing kernels to panic (closes: launchpad.net/46685)
* Mangle the *modnames structs in madwifi-ng, fixing the internal module
  system, so the driver isn't stillborn (closes: launchpad.net/47137)

Kernel ABI bump for linux-source-2.6.15 version 2.6.15-23.

25. By Matthew Garrett <email address hidden> on 2006-05-16

Add madwifi-ng support

24. By Adam Conrad on 2006-05-08

Kernel ABI bump for linux-source-2.6.15 version 2.6.15-22.

23. By Adam Conrad on 2006-04-24

* Add patch from madwifi upstream to fix usage of the pm_message_t type
  on recent kernels (version 2.6.11 and higher), which eliminates some
  compiler warnings, and may make suspend/resume happier with madwifi.
* Brown paper bag fix: add a missing semicolon in the build-udebs rule.

22. By Adam Conrad on 2006-04-23

Mangle the build-udebs target in debian/rules to conditionalise it to
only try to copy the bits we want when we have them, fixing the build
failure introduced on powerpc when I added ipw3945d to the nic udeb.

21. By Adam Conrad on 2006-04-22

* Update fglrx to 8.24.8, which includes support for the Radeon X1n00 series
  and the Mobility Radeon X1n00 series cards (closes: launchpad.net/39924)
* Include the binary-only ipw3945 daemon to go with the driver that has been
  added to the latest Ubuntu kernel series (closes: launchpad.net/36684)
* Include a modprobe.d file for ipw3945 that loads the ipw3945d daemon when
  the module is loaded, and kills it off before the module is unloaded.
* Add the above ipw3945d hacks to the nic-restricted-modules udebs for d-i.
* Kernel ABI bump for linux-source-2.6.15 version 2.6.15-21.

20. By Adam Conrad on 2006-04-10

* Update non-legacy NVIDIA driver to 1.0.8756, legacy still at 1.0.7174:
  - Drop patches 001 through 006, all incorporated in the new version.
  - Includes improved power management support, and support for all the
    latest/shiniest NVIDIA hardware, (closes: launchpad.net/{38637,35628})
* Fix whitespace in fglrx rules file (closes: launchpad.net/{32576,23250})
* Stop having nvidia-glx-enable add the nvidia kernel modules to the end
  of /etc/modules, since it is properly autoloaded by the X server. This
  stops us breaking /etc/modules as a bonus (closes: launchpad.net/27579)

19. By Adam Conrad on 2006-04-05

* Test for /sbin/lrm-manager in our init script, for the case where we
  have been removed, rather than purged (closes: launchpad.net/36705)
* Call ld with the '-d' switch in lrm-manager, to assign space in the
  final ltmodem object for common symbols (closes: launchpad.net/37321)
* Install the missing libnvidia-cfg.so.1 (closes: launchpad.net/34912)
* Kernel ABI bump for linux-source-2.6.15 2.6.15-20.

18. By Adam Conrad on 2006-03-18

* Incorporate patch by Robert Love and Dan Williams needed for WPA support
  in NetworkManager 0.6.0, backported to madwifi-old by Johan Kiviniemi.
* nvidia-glx (but not -legacy) needs to conflict with nvidia-xconfig, as
  we've recently absorbed that binary as well (closes: launchpad.net/6600)
