| 5 | That fixed it. Thank you very much. I'm a little puzzled because I |
| 6 | don't get the "unable to apply firmware patch" messages on my desktop |
| 7 | which also uses the r8169 driver and doesn't have linux-firmware |
| 8 | installed. |

| 10 | I guess linux-firmware is a package released by the kernel folks |
| 11 | containing certain firmware blobs? It looks like rt73 is in there but |
| 12 | not b43. |
