The b43 and b43-legacy drivers were removed because their
corresponding upstream drivers loads a nonfree firmware.
However linux-libre-firmware has a free firmware
(ucode5.fw) that is used by both drivers.
The b43 and b43-legacy driver are also typically enabled
by Trisquel and Jason Self's linux-libre repository.
Note that some kernel parameters like qos=0 might be
necessary to make it work.
This regression was introduced in linux-libre by the
following commit:
32075365d upgpkg: libre/linux-libre 4.16.9_gnu-1
The drivers were added back by importing affected parts
from the following upstream kernels and configurations:
- config in linux-armv7 from Arch Linux ARM
- config.i686 in linux from Arch Linux 32
- config from linux from Arch Linux

The tg3 driver was removed because its upstream driver
loads a nonfree firmware. However with linux-libre, the
driver works fine without any nonfree firmware, at least
on some computers like the HP NC6320.
That driver is also typically enabled by Trisquel and
Jason Self's linux-libre repository.
This regression was introduced in linux-libre by the
following commit:
32075365d upgpkg: libre/linux-libre 4.16.9_gnu-1
The following configuration:
CONFIG_TIGON3=m
CONFIG_TIGON3_HWMON=y
is used in the following upstream kernels and
configurations:
- config in linux-armv7 from Arch Linux ARM
- config.i686 in linux from Arch Linux 32
- config from linux from Arch Linux
