Hi rlsten,

i will test the new Pi as soon as i have one.
We have to check if we need a new image for it, or if a modified / updated image will work.

Hi janui,

I am hoping to get a Model B+ today, but you have saved me a lot of work trying the existing images on it. I don't know much about kernels and firmware, but for what it is worth the official Raspbian image (which has support for the B+) updated the WiFi firmware to

brcmfmac43455-sdio 7.45.154
brcmfmac43430-sdio 7.45.98.38

and is using Linux kernel 4.9.80+ and Raspberry Pi firmware 3347884c7df574bbabeff6dca63caf686e629699.

I don't know if that info has any relevance to Rune based as it is on Arch Linux.

Hi rlsten,
Here is my logbook for upgrading Franks image: http://www.mediafire.com/file/bbvc4w1xb ... ogbook.txt (sha-256: 14752C1678157995E23C893FB4200F9DE306973A53116C95E6D306240CAEA46E).
The resulting image boots on the 2B, 3B and 3B+, but still has significant problems on the 3B+.
