Dear Genodians,
I am planning on using sculpt on my razer blade 15 from 2015. It was straightforward to boot it. However, wifi networking won't work.
After some investigations, only the intel 'iwlwifi-9260-firmware' needs to be included for it to work. I forked 'dde_linux_firmware' [1] and created a pull request [2] to add the firmware and the license. Please let me know if this is appropriate.
Finally, I have a branch that implements the necessary changes on the genode repository [3]. It currently uses my fork of 'dde_linux_firmware' in 'dde_linux/ports/linux-firmware.port'. Wifi now works on my laptop.
If [2] is correct and accepted. I can adapt those changes if welcome to create a pull request for the genode repository.

Hi Alice,

Thanks for creating the PR.
I was wondering where you got the image file from as the size differs from the one found in the vanilla 'linux-firmware.git' [1] repository that I normally turn to. However, I added the image found there to the 'dde_linux_firmware' report and I prepared two fixup commits [2]. It would be nice if you could give this FW image a try as well.

I goes without saying that we gladly would incorporate the changes.

Dear Josef,
Thank you for reviewing my stuff.

I wonder why the size differs. It is a good question. I would have expected not.
As far as I remember, I got it from the Intel website [1]. I am sure I did not look into 'linux-firmware.git' as you mentioned. I assume it should be picked up from there. I overlooked that, sorry.

I have tested it with your Genode branch, and it works!
I have integrated your fixup commits on this branch [2] based on staging for the Genode repository. And I have created a PR as well [4].

Ah right, I have not thought of that. Since most distros will also pull there firmware images from there (I think) it makes correlating things easier.

Thanks for testing, that is good to know.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. I meant, it makes sense to use the one from [1] :)

Yeah, that is what I meant as well - sorry for being somewhat fuzzy ☺.
