Yes that is a good point. If we leave the linux-firmware link in place then it makes some sense to mention it (to make it clear that it isn't a leftover message from the upstream driver. If we remove the Linux link then we could also remove the On FreeBSD. Comment Actions I initially thought to keep the git.k.o link as one could always just grab the firmware file from there and drop it in /boot/firmware these days. Comment Actions We should maybe put that in the handbook or manual. We can always iterate on it later. |
