Title:
  Add comapt-wireless v3.6 stack to Quantal LBM

Status in linux-backports-modules-3.2.0 source package in Quantal:
  Invalid
Status in linux-meta source package in Quantal:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  == 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.
