Package: network-manager
Version: 1.14.6-2+deb10u1
Followup-For: Bug #624438

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation
Searching for an USB WiFi for Stretch, I found that the Panda PAU05 (PAU06) worked very nicely, provided that I backported
the device driver from Buster (testing). Since Buster has been promoted to Stable, the devices no longer work.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)
