[x86-64] LE 12.2 is missing the Broadcom-wl WiFi driver completely

    There is nothing to stop you or anyone else building an own LE image with extra features or support for things we dropped patched or hacked back in. That's the value of open-source software and distros that provide sources. Go nuts. Have fun.

    I would try that, but I lack the knowledge and most importantly the hardware.

    I tried something similar 5+ years ago, to recreate a setup similar to libreelec's with alpine. All went fine, except that I could not configure the network from within kodi, which is important when kodi IS the desktop enviroment. All "network configuration" related addons were either abandoned or with very limited functionality.
