* Updated kernel and fixed mac80211 vulnerability - CVE-2020-3702

The linux kernel list discussion for this entry is not very good reading… seems it took a year for the fix to appear in the stable kernels. (Closed source drivers had this fix last year).

Thanks - currently it works really good. I had less attacks and far less crashes.
It runs all clean and smooth. No problems with Solus Linux 4.3 - at present runs in best way.
