I switched to the testing branch and did a -Syy and installed linux-firmware. Looked again just now and it appears my mirrors are not syncing. I have this showing with a date in last December.
[ray@pi4 ~]$ pacman -Ss linux-firmware

Switched mirrors and now the new package is showing up.
[ray@pi4 ~]$ pacman -Ss linux-firmware
core/linux-firmware 20210208.b79d239-1 [installed: 20201218.646f159-1]

Thanks for pointing this all out to me. I had talked to @Strit this mourning and was confused why it appeared that the package had been updated because I was going to put an overlay package in testing and unstable until they got this straightened out upstream. Anyway I am fixing to push this package to unstable and testing branches.

Although it wasnât updated this time around, Iâve noticed an issue with mntray. Since the update it keeps flagging all articles as being unread on each login.
Wow, did you take a look at the brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,4-model-b.txt? Quite different than the previous file, looks like a developerâs versions. It contains a mac address, but it does not appear to be used. Had me worried.
Not really too much other than checking the board address.
This file is from the RPi git. The rest is from the linux-firmware git. I need to add another from the RPi git if I see any complaints of wifi disconnection. With in the last week they had a fix with brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin because some routers would disconnect. They sent the dbug messages to Broadcom and had a fix with in a day.
Was hoping linux-firmware would provide a quick fix for all of this and include updated brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin so I would not have to deal with re-building this package. It is huge and I have a slow internet.
Today I up date my Odroid c4 kde testing branch
Whatâs new with this last linux kernel up date ? I donât remember a so big one, Iâm maybe wrongâŠ
