Linux and Slackware sure have come a long way;

I had an old tower or two on which i was running Slackware until about last year but due to renovations here i scrapped those, got rid of these machines which were connected to the web through a cable connection.

Then i was given this old Dell Inspiron laptop, tried to get the WiFi to run and i gave up on it.

I installed Debian wheezy and after a bit of tinkering got it to work flawlessly.

But lately i started to miss Slackware and got 14.1 on it.

This time i got everything to work including the WiFi thanks to Alien Bob's packages and this here post=http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/getting-broadcom-4318-wireless-to-work-688646/.

Also while using Debian i realized how much i was using the command line in Slackware....and how much i forgot, phew!

So thank you Alien Bob and Lumak, great work and community.

The Broadcom chip in my MacBook Pro 2015 works out of the box with 14.2 and -current.
