    The build system can not find the source of the wlan-firmware package, probably because it was moved/removed.

    You can find a copy of the source here. To use a copy, update PKG_URL of package.mk of wlan-firmware accordingly.

    LibreELEC 6.0.3 is not supported anymore, so you are very much on your own.

    LibreELEC 6.0 doesn't exist, we forked and started our releases at 7.0. Anything before then is someone else's problem :)

    I know that but i have several graphic artifacts at startup and shutdown with LibreELEC 8.2.5 and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, LibreELEC 7.0 does not start. So i'm trying to build old releases.

    Thanks for the help, i successfully downloaded the wlan-firmware but now the problem is the bootloader (404 again).

    RPi 3 hardware was released in Feb 2016 so the OE 6.0 codebase which predates that by a year? is not going to boot even if you do figure out the missing package dependencies. LE 7.0.3 should be fine. NB: Running older software likely introduces more bugs than it might solve, so a current milhouse testing release (newer everything than LE 8.2.5) is probably more productive; and if the issue still exists, report the problem to the milhouse support thread in Kodi forums instead of working backwards with old code.
