But this actually not sufficient - he also need to add device siba_bwn, and then install net/bwn-firmware-kmod. But he will know that after recompiling his kernel when his wireless adapter will not work as expected :). So may be we need to also add siba_bwn (commented out by default) in GENERIC and some reference about net/bwn-firmware-kmod? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
