[Slackbuilds-users] Updated versions of b43-* SlackBuilds

[Robby Workman]

Hrm, I don't think I saw that message for whatever reason (which is 
not to imply that you're somehow at fault), but either way, I don't
have any of this hardware and so have no interest in maintaining
these any more. Feel free to take over maintenance of them.
