Bug#1030741: firmware-brcm80211: Package firmware-brcm80211 not found in bookworm
hi Salvatore, Thank you for your prompt replies. The system hang is unpredictable. When it reboots after the hang, there are no errors on "dmesg". How and where can i find the relevant logs, errors which could help to troubleshoot this issue? regards, -Mathi From: Salvatore Bonaccorso on behalf of Salvatore Bonaccorso Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2023 1:21 PM To: Mathirajan S.
