Changelog

broadcom-sta (6.30.223.271-23ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=medium

  * This source package from Debian, and bcmwl package from Ubuntu are
    identical. Stop maintaining two copies of this driver in restricted &
    universe. Takeover the bcmwl binary package with a transtional
    one. This will enable to forcesync this package post 24.04.
  * Add modaliases integration.
  * Override upstream version number of the transitional package.

bcmwl-kernel-source: transitional package for Broadcom STA Wireless driver

 This is a transitional package for Broadcom STA Wireless driver. It
 can safely be removed.

broadcom-sta-common: Common files for the Broadcom STA Wireless driver

 Broadcom STA is a binary-only device driver to support the following IEEE
 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network cards: BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-,
 BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43142-, BCM43224-, BCM43225-, BCM43227-, BCM43228-,
 BCM4331-, BCM4360-, and BCM4352-based hardware.
 .
 This package contains the common files and it should not be installed manually
 (it will be installed automatically as needed).

broadcom-sta-dkms: dkms source for the Broadcom STA Wireless driver

 Broadcom STA is a binary-only device driver to support the following IEEE
 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network cards: BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-,
 BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43142-, BCM43224-, BCM43225-, BCM43227-, BCM43228-,
 BCM4331-, BCM4360-, and BCM4352-based hardware.
 .
 This package provides the source code for the wl kernel modules and makes use
 of the DKMS build utility to install them for the running kernel. The
 alternative package broadcom-sta-source can be used instead in case of build
 problems.
 .
 The wireless-tools package is also required in order to make use of these
 modules. Kernel source or headers are required to compile these modules.

broadcom-sta-source: Source for the Broadcom STA Wireless driver

 Broadcom STA is a binary-only device driver to support the following IEEE
 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network cards: BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-,
 BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43142-, BCM43224-, BCM43225-, BCM43227-, BCM43228-,
 BCM4331-, BCM4360-, and BCM4352-based hardware.
 .
 This package provides the source code for the wl kernel modules. It makes use
 of kernel-package or module-assistant build systems. The alternative
 broadcom-sta-dkms package can be installed instead and might be easier to use
 with simple system configurations.
 .
 The wireless-tools package is also required in order to make use of these
 modules. Kernel source or headers are required to compile these modules.
