Rep:
it would be nice to have wsdd2. it is pretty much esential for samba share discovery on a lan with win10 clients.
(i have a slackbuild which will be submitted to sbo when submissions are open again) current version is 1.8.1
How about enabling the video/voice-plugin in pidgin?
libnice libnice,SlackBuild and farstream,SlackBuild need to be compiled in that ordner, and pidgin recompiled with removed "--disable-vv".

This update adds support for voice and video via Farstream.
Yeah, even though the additions seem to be based on pidgin's new requirements rather than on my proposal.
I installed Slackware-current x64 on a computer with two ethernet ports. Neither port worked. I needed to download the latest drivers from the manufacturers.
The first network interface was an Intel I219V . The latest driver is e100oe-3.8.4.tar.gz.
The second one was a Realtec Dragron RTL8125BG. The latest driver is r8125-9.00.05.tar.bz2.
After loading the latest drivers both network interfaces worked.
