First of all, sorry about your messages getting stuck in the moderation
queue. The reason was that you're not subscribed to the list, and nobody
was watching the queue to see them getting put there.

If you manually install firmware, it needs to go into /lib/firmware, not
/usr/lib/firmware.

You can also install the "linux-firmware-other" package from APK Fission
for your wireless card. Future ISOs will include these firmware packages
with the user's option to utilize them or not. You would want to add
these repositories:

http://distfiles.apkfission.net/adelie/current/main/
http://distfiles.apkfission.net/adelie/current/nonfree/

More information can be found on APK Fission's installation page.
