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
