Update Slackware Broadcom Driver

Gregg

It doesn’t happen often, but whenever there’s a new kernel package for Slackware on my laptop I need to update the Broadcom driver. To do this:

  1. Update your OS, as usual.
  2. Reboot
  3. Plug in the ethernet cable, if necessary
  4. Login as root
  5. Perform sbopkg -i broadcom-sta
  6. Done
