Changelog for mhvtl-kmp-default-1.71_release+903.d3ec98550dc3_k6.10.5_1-1.39.2.6.sr20240803.x86_64.rpm :

* Wed Jul 26 2023 lduncanAATTsuse.com- Besides lots of bug fixes, the main visible change is the addition of the mhvtl_kernel_mod_build script, which uses a tarball of the modules sources in /lib/firmware/mhvtl_kernel.tgz to build the kernel module. This adds a new script, new firmware file, and a new man page.- Details about the update to version 1.71_release+903.d3ec98550dc3:
