Linux kernel 4.13.8 for tahrpup64 6.0.6
Posted: Mon 30 Oct 2017, 19:51
I was having problems with the internal WiFi of my Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop.
The b43 drivers had severe bandwidth and stability issues in the original 3.14.79 kernel.
Because I knew it was working in other distros with newer kernels, I decided to compile a vanilla 4.13.8 kernel, using the same config as the tahrpup64 3.14.79 kernel.
For me it fixed the issue, the b43 wireless driver is now working like a charm. So I provide the kernel as a PET package for those having the same problem, or perhaps this newer kernel can also help with other hardware issues.
Just install it and reconfigure your "Grub4Dos bootloader config" in the menu "System" to boot with this new kernel.
