Yeah that does sound tricky to figure out.

Yeah I suspect just ignoring the firmware warning would have worked fine if netcfg worked with wifi7 adapters. > Alternatively to Holger's suggestion, you can start the installer in expert > mode and select sound modules in the installer component screen.
