Heads up...

BarryK has announced:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02995
that rerwin's rerwin_woof_fixes-delta-3f.pet has been added to woof.

This means that new woof based pups from now on will come ready equipped with rerwin's pup_event_backend_modprobe with extended preference processing

At the same time Barry has also decided to move the various "firmware" packages out into separate pets which pup builders will need to include in their pup builds. (although the theory is they can be "retrofitted" if the builders forget them or choose not to include them).

In preparation, I will shortly rearrange post #1 to make the rerwin_woof_fixes-delta-3f method the "preferred" one.

01micko has uploaded the next beta version of Slacko - 5.3.6.0 with kernel 3.2.30-4g

This is another "new generation" pup that does not need the rerwin fixes pet.

The delta file is attached to:

A new Version 11 - 24 October 2012 (download 499 onwards) of the multi-kernel pet in post #1 has been uploaded.

The only difference is that the multi-kernel pet now directly supports the recently released Precise 5.4 version of puppy.

Thanks peebee,

Now what EXACTLY do I need to integrate these into their respective builds at build time? I will ship with wl in final so might as well get it in to the next and hopefully final beta for a bit of testing. I have settled on these kernels unless of course their is some major issue with them. I hope not, that is why I have been following the LTS branches.

Cheers

Update:

Precise 5.4.2 k3.2.29 (the pae version) from BarryK now has the wl driver built-in to the iso.

(n.b. Retro-Precise 5.4.2 k3.2.32 nopae still requires the add-on pet in post #1)

Both Slacko 5.4 k3.2.33-4g & k3.4.17-PAE from 01micko also have the wl driver built-in to the isos.

Upup-Precise 54X4 k3.2.29 from pemasu comes similarly equipped OOTB.

Cheers

[EDIT]This post is already out of date as 01micko has uploaded the next testing version 5.4.0.3 in which he has reverted to the 5.4 kernels and therefore the wl driver is included in the iso.

I'll leave it here in case further 5.4.1 Beta's use the 3.4.28-PAE kernel.
[/EDIT]

I haven't needed to post delta pets for some time as most recent new puppies have the Broadcom wl driver built in to the iso.....

01micko has released Slacko 5.4.0.2 as an 5.4.1 Beta which doesn't include the wl driver....

The delta file for Slacko with kernel 3.4.28-PAE is attached in case anybody need to install with wl driver....
