Hi,
On 2021-11-27 I updated stable/13 and tried to apply the setup script which
is supposed to patch the kernel source to make this new driver work. However,
this operation was unsucessful:
...
The iwlwifi wiki was updated in the meantime with this note:
2021-11-28 The driver and firmware went into HEAD (detached from build)
Also earlier today:
Q: Your latest snapshot no longer applies. What shall I do?
A: We are working on getting all parts into the tree currently.
Please be patient for a few more days.
My question: As of today, what is the correct way to get the iwlwifi driver
onto a stable/13 system?
There is a hard way resolving the conflicts yourself but read on.
As per my understaning, HEAD would correspond to
-CURRENT which would mean that stable/13 doesn't (yet) have these changes. Will
these MFCs show up in the next few days?
Yes. For appropriate values of "few".
My hope is to have everything in main/HEAD/-CURRENT before the end of
this week.
stable/13 will likely get things officially within 14 days of that but once
it is all in HEAD I may just publish a script for the mean time which will
git cherry-pick the changes needed for stable/13 as the amount of people
asking for 13 is quite large. So you won't have to wait for the 14
days for the MFC to happen.
Hope that helps,
Bjoern
