Package bumps and extra b43 firmware

August 08, 2022 — BarryK

Getting ready to build the next 64-bit release of EasyOS, have been working on a few things and not documenting. So, had better report some of it...

Rick has a problem with missing b43 wi-fi firmware. There is a bug in the kernel driver, it seems to go into a loop, trying to load 'ucode30_mimo.fw'.
Anyway, the firmware is in 'firmware_linux_b43-extra' PET, so have added that to the package-list.

I have bumped 'jwm' from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2, required a fix:

Limine is now version 3.14.2.
