Hello,

I noticed the kernel wiki URLs might have changed. The URLs now are
like this:

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43

However in the kernel source code and in the kernel log output you
find something like this:

    b43-phy1 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Driv=
ers/b43#devicefirmware and do
    wnload the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully r=
ead all instructions on this=20
    website.

(Notice the additional subdomain and the case change in the resource
path.)

Some websites seem to link on those old URLs, see
https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/b43-fwcutter for example.

Could the webmasters of kernel.org please configure some kind of
redirects so people don't get 404 errors when looking for docs?

Bonus question: would it make sense to change all those URLs in the
source (as in: send patches for that)? Then what URLs are supposed to
be the right ones now?

Kind regards
Alex
