Bug#696038: ITP: compat-wireless-3.5.4 -- backported linux wireless drivers
What I have now is a set of instructions for building packages with
modass[1] which I've used for compat-wireless and peak's canbus
driver. I would like to (at some point) learn to use dkms, especially
if it'll make my job easier. I also welcome someone [a mentor] to
work with on this as my packaging skills are pretty hacky.

[1] I've been meaning to file a bug report to improve the HOWTO.Devel
but haven't gotten around to it.
