Bug#497873: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686: Please enable prism54 module
Hi Bastian,
I just upgraded my sid to the 2.6.26 kernel and had to
immediately revert back to 2.6.23. I run my network
from my debian-box using prism54 in master mode. After some
searching found this on
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download:
"
* prism54, p54pci, p54usb?
We don't provide prism54 in this package because
distributions already provide it. p54 is its replacement.
prism54 works only with full MAC cards. p54 works with both
full MAC and soft MAC cards. p54 just doesn't yet
support ad-hoc, and AP mode. Should prism54 get any new
updates we'll start packaging it here.
"
So please provide prism54 again as a module and blacklist
it. People needing prism54 for master mode will be able to
find the blacklisting and revert back from p54pci to prism54
without the need of compiling a custom kernel.
Cheers
Rainer
