fedora
Calendar Grey November 28, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Debian's recent firmware_update patch eliminates faulty firmware and resolves significant hardware concerns.
- Update to upstream 2.1-31

Summary

The microcode_ctl utility is a companion to the microcode driver written

back to the old microcode.
