[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#192351: linux-wlan-ng: just drop the modutils file altogether

[Tormod Volden]

Package: linux-wlan-ng
Followup-For: Bug #192351


I believe that with udevd and the latest 0.2.8+svn1850+dfsg-1 the /etc/modprobe.d/linux-wlan-ng 
file is not needed at all and can be dropped. Since the correct module is loaded automatically, 
the module alias is not used. For example, the "modprobe wlan0" in the linux-wlan-ng scripts is 
run after the module is loaded, since its exexcution is triggered by udevd.

The wlan_wext_write option is "1" by default now.
