Hi,
We are working with a new consumer laptop model that includes a
wil6210 wireless adapter.
It is not usable on current Linux distros because the firmware is not
present. It's not in linux-firmware and we can't even find any
download links when searching the web.
Could you please send a copy of the required firmware to linux-firmware?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
Thanks
Daniel

it
I asked internally about the status of the firmware release and we are
working on it. Naturally I can't give any promises when it will be
available, but hopefully soon.
