The problem here is obviously that you need a working network connection to actually fetch and install this port, since it's not included on the ISO.

Out of curiosity, I stripped the linux-firmware files from everything non-(W)LAN related and tar -cJf-ed it (I took the WHENCE file from the repo as a starting point). The result is a 24MB tarball that is way lighter than the original, unpacked 106MB repository. TBH, I don't know where the pain barrier for Fredrik, Matt and Jürgen is located, but maybe splitting the port into the essential networking and non-networking parts and including the first one could be an option. regards, Thomas --
