[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#503101: cryptsetup: Cryptsetup kills wireless

[Michael Pobega]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

When I installed cryptsetup on my Eee PC (using debian-eeepc and the
madwifi drivers) and rebooted, my wireless would not work. dmesg | tail
would just say "Wireless off" everytime I turned it back on with Fn+2.
After recovering /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.bak the wireless works again.

I'm not exactly sure what about it killed it, but whatever cryptsetup
appended to my initrd killed my wireless.
