At the beginning of that page are links to both upstream git at the kernel, and the BLFS mirror at anduin which Bruce set up. NICs are covered in 'Firmware for Network Interfaces' - you might also want to look at CPU firmware on the same page, at least for your i7. Using a current book may sometimes be worthwhile, even for those who do not want current versions of packages. ;-p ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
