Getting madwifi-ng out of experimental


What do I need to add to sources.list to only get the madwifi-ng packages out of the experimental branch?

Regards

These are the sources.list(5) lines for experimental:

deb http://ftp.xy.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.xy.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
changing the "xy" to your country code. Using experimental is iffy at best. I run Sid and yet I have never touched Experimental.

Experimental
Quote:
is meant to be a temporary staging area for highly experimental software where there's a good chance that the software could break your system, or software that's just too unstable even for the unstable distribution (but there is a reason to package it nevertheless). Users who download and install packages from experimental are expected to have been duly warned. In short, all bets are off for the experimental distribution.
