Bug#698821: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64: ARECA driver arcmsr is out of date - please update

[Steve Lane <sdlane@lbl.gov>]

Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.35-2
Severity: important
Tags: d-i upstream patch

Dear Maintainer,

Please see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52961

The ARECA arcmsr driver has not (as far as I can tell) been updated
since version 1.20.00.15 02/27/2008; the current version, available from:

http://www.areca.com.tw/support/s_linux/linux.htm

is 1.20.0X.15-111012 2011/10/12.  Current ARECA hardware is unsupported
by the older driver.

Thanks/best,

Steve Lane
