<b43> Ohh I wouldnt know
[04:03:51]
<wgreenhouse> b43: are you a broadcom wireless driver? :)
[04:03:52]
<b43> Is there a service status page?
[04:04:03]
<b43> Lmaooo
[04:04:03]
<wgreenhouse> not that I know of. if there is, I'll check it
[04:04:21]
<b43> Only the infamous blacklisted one lol
[04:04:36]
<wgreenhouse> yes, used to be I needed you for 5Ghz
[04:04:45]
<wgreenhouse> on my 2011 mac that I ran slackware on for years
[04:06:21]
<b43> I ran into the need to unblacklist b43xx drivers many times on debian lol
[04:06:50]
<b43> I may have wrote a script that automates it...
[04:07:04]
<wgreenhouse> don't know what the situation is like now but in those days you had to choose b43 for certain newer capabilities (like 5Ghz) but it was otherwise less stable than the in-kernel one
[04:07:44]
<wgreenhouse> now I guess there's a whole other set of broadcom drivers, like the ones you'd use for rpi wifi
[04:11:05]
<b43> Yeah
[04:11:10]
<b43> Ah here it is
[04:11:16]
<b43> https://servzero.net/arc/tools/b43fix
[04:11:51]
<wgreenhouse> ah right, "wl" was the in-kernel one, iirc
[04:12:21]
<b43> Thinkso
[04:12:34]
<b43> This enables b43-legacy
[04:14:47]
<b43> I uploaded the shell file raw so just opening the link displays the code, you'd have to use the save as option to save it. I dont like file extensions lol
[04:15:05]
<wgreenhouse> I was able to read it :) I don't really have a contemporary system that needs it
[04:15:10]
<wgreenhouse> but I'm glad that your nick delivers
[04:15:46]
<b43> 😆
