=== Oneiric SRU Justification ===
Per bug 918351 we provided the v3.2 compat-wireless stack via LBM for
Oneiric. Unfortunately the iwlwifi drivers were not enabled. This is due
to the fact that in v3.2 iwlagn was renamed to iwlwifi and the
corresponding config names were also updated to reflect this re-name,
ie:

    iwlagn: rename iwlagn module iwlwifi and alias to iwlagn.

    Rename the iwlagn module as iwlwifi in preparation for future
    changes. Add an alias to iwlagn for backward compatibility.

As a result, the v3.2 compat-wirless stack enables iwlwifi if
CONFIG_IWLWIFI. However, because CONFIG_IWLWIFI does not exist for
Oneiric, the v3.2 compat-wireless version of iwlwifi was/is never built.

obj-$(CONFIG_IWLWIFI) += iwlwifi.o
etc...

== Fix ==
Modify the v3.2 compat-wireless Makefile to be dependent on
CONFIG_IWLAGN instead of CONFIG_IWLWIFI to build iwlwifi.

==Test Case==
Install linux-backports-modules-3.0.0 for Oneiric and confirm that
without the fix applied, the updated cw-3.2 iwlwifi driver is
unavailable. With the patch applied, it is.

I would also like to add there is positive test confirmation in the bug
report that this patch resolves the issue.  I would also like to add
that there is no risk of regression as LBM is an elective install.
