@kabbalah yes, the versioned dependency is wrong. OLD firmware works with linux 3.2, NEW firmware doesn't work with old linux. you can keep 5.10.56.27.3 until linux 3.2 hits core and then you can update to 5.100.138

Ok, I use Testing since two years, and no problem updating my system, then now seem that every time that change the kernel, then b43-firmware will no allow that update my system, until the kernel has been moved from 'testing' to 'core'. How emerged this issue? Which is the solution for it? For all. Or, then I will need no use Testing?

Please note that the "b43-firmware-latest" PKGBUILD incorrectly lists Linux < v3.2 as a dependency. Until the maintainer of that package changes it to require Linux >= v3.2, anyone attempting to use it will need to do so themselves.

@kabbalah The reason is easy to explain. If Xavion would update the pkg now, everyone not using 'testing' could not use this pkg. In the mean time you can try the b43-firmware-latest-pkg https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52676 I guess.

I not understand, when I updated my archlinux, no problem, but now you is tell me that "After Linux v3.2 has been moved from 'testing' to 'core', I'll update this PKGBUILD accordingly". Then, meantine I can't use Testing for realize my update? Please, explain me the reason for it decision. Cordially kabbalah

This package currently requires Linux < v3.2, where '<' means "earlier than". In other words, you should install the 'linux' package (v3.1.8) from the 'core' repository instead. After Linux v3.2 has been moved from 'testing' to 'core', I'll update this PKGBUILD accordingly.

There is error in my comment: It is correct one: 1. b43-firmware, is impossible install! When update with testing include, ultimately it tell me: b43-firmware: necesita linux<3.2 error: error al preparar la transacción (no se pudieron satisfacer las dependencias) 2. I erase b43-firmware, for I can install linux 3.2-2, since I can't update, it tell me "b43 necesita linux 3.2" 2. I installed linux 3.2-2 since pkgbuild, now when want install b43-firmware since Aur, it tell me that it need as dependence: b43-firmware: necesita linux<3.2 error: error al preparar la transacción (no se pudieron satisfacer las dependencias) 3. edited the pkgbuild of b43, to change linux 3.3 by linux 3.2-2 but nothing appear the same error. Then with Testing active I can't update archlinux.

@alperkanat: I was using the wl module just fine until today.
