[Bug 1724869] Re: ndiswrapper 1.60-3~ubuntu16.04.1 ADT test failure with linux-hwe-edge 4.13.0-16.19~16.04.3

[Julian Andres Klode]

Thanks NStrom and Martin, that should be enough for verification. Now it
just needs someone to accept it.

Please consider moving away from ndiswrapper though and maybe get a new
WiFi device - ndiswrapper is a dirty hack which is unmaintained upstream
and really should not be used, especially now in 2018.

Title:
  ndiswrapper 1.60-3~ubuntu16.04.1 ADT test failure with linux-hwe-edge
  4.13.0-16.19~16.04.3

Status in ndiswrapper package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ndiswrapper source package in Xenial:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Currently the DKMS package fails to install in supported custom
  kernels that are based on 4.11 or 4.13. That includes the current 4.11
  hwe-edge and the upcoming 4.13 hwe-edge kernels and some of the custom
  and cloud kernels as well.

  [Test Case]

  Install the DKMS package with the 4.13 hwe-edge kernel from -proposed.
  The package installation should proceed without any errors.

  [Regression Potential]

  Although new patches were added, the regression risk is very low since
  the new changes are conditionally compiled based on the kernel
  version.

  Besides that the new package was tested with the following kernels in
  an amd64 environment:

  - linux-generic 4.4
  - linux-hwe 4.10
  - linux-hwe-edge 4.11
  - linux-hwe-edge 4.13 (from xenial-proposed)
  - linux-azure 4.11
  - linux-azure-edge 4.13 (which is in process of getting promoted to
    xenial-proposed)
