Firmware updates in MX

[anticapitalista]

There are some firmware updates from Wheezy-backports now in the repo.

Could testers check that all is still running ok after upgrade.

My wireles still works fine, so the new firmware-ralink package does its job.

I just applied all available updates to both machines in sig, and after a reboot everything still seems to be working.

Yes, I did and had it removed. I have not seen any detriment yet. (A VB install).

New firmware working fine on an install of MX-14 RC2 after upgrades on my desktop (Dell XPS 8500), using a Realtek RTL8111/8168B chipset for wired ethernet, with an Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter. Both wired and wireless are working after the latest firmware updates using Synaptic, and a reboot of the computer to make sure it still worked OK.

Thanks, antiC...and thanks, Rich.

EDIT: no problems post firmware update...Card: Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller driver: r8169
