When installing Ubuntu Core 13.10 according to the instructions at wiki.ubuntu.com/Core/InstallationExample, step 5 says that Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" development kernel requires the 'wireless-crda' package. This wiki suggest to have a look at packages.ubuntu.com. However the precise/linux-image-3.8.0-37-generic page doesn't even mention the 'wireless-crda' package at all.

After reading the Ask Ubuntu articles for 'download +kernel +packages +deb', '"depends on" +kernel +packages', 'wireless-crda' and "How to automatically fetch missing dependencies when installing software from .deb?" I still don't know how to figure out all dependent packages.

The answers from How can I check dependency list for a deb package

1. apt-cache showpkg linux-image-3.11.0-18-generic

doesn't output a 'wireless-crda' dependency:

Reverse Depends:

Reverse Provides:

2. dpkg -I linux-image-3.11.0-18-generic_3.11.0-18.32_amd64.deb

also doesn't output a 'wireless-crda' dependency:

Depends: initramfs-tools (>= 0.36ubuntu6), module-init-tools (>= 3.3-pre11-4ubuntu3)

 Recommends: grub-pc | grub-efi-amd64 | grub-efi-ia32 | grub | lilo (>= 19.1)

 Suggests: fdutils, linux-doc-3.11.0 | linux-source-3.11.0, linux-tools, linux-headers-3.11.0-18-generic

 Conflicts: hotplug (<< 0.0.20040105-1)

 Provides: fuse-module, ivtv-modules, kvm-api-4, linux-image, linux-image-3.0, redhat-cluster-modules

When installing the kernel through apt-get install linux-{headers,image}-generic there is a depending 'wireless-crda' package.

Question:

How to find out - before actually installing the Ubuntu kernel .deb file - all dependent packages that need to be installed?
