Re: Broadcom WL drivers

@fbagnato You will need to load the kernel sources SFS for the kernel 5.15.148 you are running in S15Pup64! :geek:

This SFS supplies the kernel source that the driver will be compiled against.

Re: How start new Palemoon instead of preinstalled version ?

rolandradio I looked at the palemoon 64 bit version you mentioned. The menu entry the SFS brings when loaded is looking to start "palemoon" so the system will look at the $PATH directories to find it to execute it. So this should work: rm /usr/bin/palemoon ln -s /opt/palemoon/palemoon /us...
