bcmwl (5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #432780):

    - Fix issue with tkip group keys that caused the following
      message to repeat often:
      TKIP: RX tkey->key_idx=2 frame keyidx=1 priv=ffff8800cf80e840
    - Fix a continuous assoc/disassoc loop (in Ubuntu 8.04)
      with suspend/resume with WPA2 and wpa_supplicant.
    - Fix bug affecting Ubuntu 8.04 which prevented from pinging when
      Linux STA is IBSS creator with WEP.
    - Fix bug affecting Ubuntu 9.04 which prevented from connecting to
      hidden networks after suspend/resume.

      when transitioning from AES to TKIP encryption.

Bug description:
Packages in Debian & Ubuntu that are using their own postinstall script should remove the logic from there and instead use /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst .  This script contains sufficient logic to figure out the correct kernels to build for and accounts for allowing builds on a buildd (if a package is ever included in a live media build).

The following sample template is sufficient to use instead:
