* debian/patches/0004-mclist.patch:
 - Switch over to multicast iterator functions for kernels v2.6.35 and
   later. This fixes module building on v2.6.35-1.1. Conditionalise
   the patch to support older kernels. (LP: #590924)

11. By Anders Kaseorg on 2010-05-14

* debian/patches/0003-autoconf.h.patch:
  - Do not #include <linux/autoconf.h> in kernels that include it
    automatically (2.6.15 or higher). This fixes building on 2.6.33
    which moved that file to <generated/autoconf.h>. (LP: #580594)

10. By Jerone Young on 2010-04-20

Fix control file to support -generic-pae kernel install (LP: #567607)

9. By Alberto Milone on 2010-02-15

* debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.postinst:
  - Do not exit after using DKMS if there are no errors.

8. By Alberto Milone on 2010-02-14

* New upstream release (LP: #432780):
  - Support up to linux kernel 2.6.31. 2.6.32 support is there
    also but not tested (although reports from users suggests it
    works fine).
  - Support for hidden networks.
  - Support for rfkill in kernels < 2.6.31.
  - Setting power level via 'iwconfig eth1 txpower X' is now
    operational
  - Add support for 4313.
  - Additional channels in both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands.
  - Fix issue with tkip group keys that caused the following
    message to repeat often:
    TKIP: RX tkey->key_idx=2 frame keyidx=1 priv=ffff8800cf80e840
  - Fix a continuous assoc/disassoc loop (in Ubuntu 8.04)
    with suspend/resume with WPA2 and wpa_supplicant.
  - Fix bug affecting Ubuntu 8.04 which prevented from pinging when
    Linux STA is IBSS creator with WEP.
  - Fix bug affecting Ubuntu 9.04 which prevented from connecting to
    hidden networks after suspend/resume.
  - Fix bug which prevented the driver from associating to AP with
    when transitioning from AES to TKIP encryption.
* debian/patches/0002-Makefile.patch:
  - Refresh patch.

  0006-broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-linux-2.6.32.patch:
  - Drop patches as they are now part of the upstream code.
* debian/dkms.conf.in:
  - Remove the lines about the above mentioned patches.
* debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.postinst:
  - Make use of /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst (LP: #497149).
* Bump compat to 5.

    kernels.

6. By Anders Kaseorg on 2009-07-01

* debian/patches/0005-NET_DEVICE_OPS.patch:

  - Install only the binary compiled for the target
    architecture.

3. By Alberto Milone on 2009-06-19

* debian/control:
  - Add misc:Depends.
  - Update Standards-Version.
  - Depend on linux-headers-generic for i386 and amd64
    and on linux-headers-lpia for lpia.
  - Limit architectures to i386 amd64 and lpia.

* src/patches:
  - Move patches directory to debian/patches.
* debian/patches/0002-Makefile.patch:
  - Replace dpkg-architecture with dpkg --print-architecture
    so as not to depend on dpkg-dev.
* debian/dkms.conf.in:
  - Handle patches here so that different patches
    can be applied to different kernel versions.
* Separate source from debian/.
* debian/bcmwl-kernel-source.postinst:
  - Cover the use case of buildd machines and build the
    module for the right kernel on 1st installation.
