== Quantal SRU Justification ==
We have been providing newer compat-wireless stacks in previous releases
via LBM.  It has been requested to do the same for Quantal.  Now that
v3.6 is available, provide the newer v3.6 compat-wireless stack via
linux-backports-modules-3.5.0

Additionally, we have been providing the alx driver in previous Precise
LBM compat-wireless stacks.  alx has still not made it upstream yet. 
Continuing to provide this driver via the Quantal LBM v3.6
compat-wireless stack will enable users to continue to use the alx driver.

== Impact ==
There should be no risk of regression since this is a purely elective
install.  This has been build and install tested.

== Fix ==
There are two pull requests for this.  The first pull request officially
opens the ubuntu-quantal-lbm repo, removes obsolete code, and then adds
the compat-wireless v3.6 stack.  I'd note that the patch opening the
repo for Quantal assumes this would be uploaded with the first Quantal
kernel SRU, ie the 3.5.0-18 kernel.  We'll also need help from one of
our resident core-devs to get this uploaded the first time.  Afterwards
we can request the linux-backports-modules-3.5.0 package to be added to
our list of kernel package upload rights.  The second pull request adds
the corresponding linux-meta package entries and again takes into
account the ABI bump for the first Quantal SRU.
