Hello
This page,
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download#Getting_compat-wireless_on_Ubuntu, should be updated to include Maverick/10.10.
If I just try to install as instructed for other versions:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic
I get:
E: Unable to locate package
linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic
If I search backports*modules*wireless I find:
linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.35-22-generic - compat-wireless
Linux modules for version 2.6.35 on x86/x86_64
linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.35-22-generic-pae - compat-wireless
Linux modules for version 2.6.35 on x86
linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.36-2.6.35-23-generic -
compat-wireless Linux modules for version 2.6.35 on x86/x86_64
linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.36-2.6.35-23-generic-pae -
compat-wireless Linux modules for version 2.6.35 on x86
linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic - Backported wireless
drivers for generic kernel image
linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic-pae - Backported
wireless drivers for generic kernel image
So the only package good for installing without having to re-install
every kernel change is
linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic, however that package
is not installable.
$ sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic

Something is broken in Ubuntu it seems?
