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.
Hi Thomas, That's very good idea. Missing Wifi Firmware is one of the most annoying things during Crux installation. If that cannot be add, maybe we can have two iso, normal and 'notebook' one.
