Subject: Updated versions of b43-* SlackBuilds
To: Robby Workman


Hello!

Attached are the patches that upgrade b43-fwcutter 018 -> 019 and
b43-firmware 5.100.138 -> 6.30.163.46. For your consideration.

* fwcutter 019 only brings tiny changes to man page (except provided
debian packaging, but I guess that's negligible in our case). It is
not needed for building the 6.30.163.46 firmware as that version has
been already supported in 018
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.bcm54xx.devel/13944/focus=13945).
* No, I do not know whether newer is better. Judging by the timestamps
on http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/ it is two years fresher. I've
installed it for my BCM4322 and it seems to work (if this mail reached
the server this counts for a proof), but no extensive testing here.
* I also cannot say I've verified this on pure 14.1 - only -current at hand.

So, it's your call. :)
