Hi all, and happy easter!

with full upgrade today, 5.6.3-towo.2-siduction-amd64 was installed, and i lost my wifi on my dell notebook. comparing the logs (inxi, journalctl, lsmod) i see that the driver module "wl" is not loaded... how can i get it back?

attached files: "current" = wifi works / "previous" = wifi not working

please someone give me a hand here... thanks in advance!
