It's a wifi driver, but an older version since current (v6.0) doesn't play well with the model I have. > lspci reports: > Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] > 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4727] (rev 01) > I've built the in-tree kernel driver, installed and loaded the > firmware, but all to no avail.

Some distros call it broadcom-wl or simply wl since the module it builds is actually "wl". Since I got the source from Debian (older one, upstream has only the latest one) and they call it broadcom-sta, I kept the name. > Other questions: > > AFAIK, librsvg is involved in a circular dependency with GTK+.

Where did you get that from? Even BLFS doesn't list it as a dep neither for GTK+2 nor GTK+3. librsvg uses GTK+3 to build rsvg-view-3 program. > Skype is mentioned.

It updates CPU microcode at runtime using "microcode" driver in the kernel. It's firmware actually. Now that you mention it, it seems that it doesn't work anymore somehow, probably since I've built microcode driver into kernel but firmware is in /lib/firmware. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
