Thanks, I appreciate it, and sorry that I wasn't aware about any wireless problem(s) until I saw this thread. However, it's my fault in any event because SARPi uses the Raspberry Pi kernel release - which has a history of wireless driver/module problems and the like. I stopped chasing such issues around some years ago because sooner or later they will get fixed upstream (eventually) and it's usually a dev hiccup or oversight that causes them in the first place. The official Slackware ARM/AArch64 installer doesn't suffer the same issue(s) as it uses the mainline kernel.org release, where things are very much more concordant and assured.

Thanks for what you do with Sarpi Exaga. And thanks to drmozes for all you do with Slackware on ARM. Upgrading to the new updates released recently fixed the problem. I'll mark as solved.

Thanks, and good to know it's been resolved.

As I previously wrote, the wireless issue(s) aren't anything to do with Slackware, they happen because the Raspberry Pi kernel devs seem to have a knack for breaking things that were working just fine. I haven't changed anything within SARPi shizzle to make any difference. So, your particular problem is something that happens from time to time for whatever reason(s). Make a note of this for future reference because it isn't the first time this one's come around, and most likely won't be the last time either!

[EDIT] I was only 92.7% happy with the penultimate SARPi batch so I built another and uploaded it this morning - these I am 100% happy with.
