[Bug 1777652] [NEW] ndiswrapper 1.60-3~ubuntu16.04.2 ADT test failure with linux-hwe-edge 4.15.0-23.25~16.04.1

[Marcelo Cerri]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

Currently the DKMS package fails to install on supported custom
kernels that are based on 4.15. That includes the current 4.15
hwe-edge and some of the custom and cloud kernels as well.

[Test Case]

Install the broadcom-sta package with the 4.15 hwe-edge kernel. The
package installation should proceed without any errors.

[Regression Potential]

Although new patches were added, the regression risk is very low since
the new changes are conditionally compiled based on the kernel
version.

Besides that, the new package was tested with the following kernels in
an amd64 environment:

- linux-generic 4.4
- linux-hwe 4.13
- linux-hwe-edge 4.15
- linux-azure 4.15
