| 9 | I can't say anything about that kernel since I always use the most |
| 10 | recent kernel available, currently |
| 11 | 4.16.4. I haven't had any problems with bleeding edge gentoo-sources. |
| 12 | AFAIR, only work around for this hardware problems have appeared in |
| 13 | 4.14 or 4.15. |
| 14 | I don't know if these have been backported to 4.9.95. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | The other fix should be a contained in a recent version |
| 17 | sys-kernel/linux-firmware (I have 20180416). |
