It's come to our attention that future requests for newer versions of the compat-wireless stack will be coming down the pipeline. In preparation, add infrastructure to start tracking the 2.6.37 compat-wireless stack for Lucid. Impact: There is no impact at the moment as we're just adding the infrastructure to enable the 2.6.37 compat-wireless stack. We will wait to actually enable and build it until 2.6.37 is final. However, once we do enable this, linux-backports-modules is an elective install and a 2.6.37 compat-wireless update hasn't existed previously, so there should be no risk of regression. Test Case: Flip the bit to build the compat-wireless-2.6.37 stack in the linux-backports-modules package and confirm that a 2.6.37 compat-wireless binary is created. I'd like to note that I've generated this on top of the previously submitted pull request from myself which adds support for the 2.6.36 compat-wireless stack to Lucid LBM [1].
