Before you run my script you need to do one of these options first.

Download your ucode here https://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/BLF ... -firmware/ and make a module (path for example /lib/firmware/here-is-your.ucode) then reboot

Of course you can use https://www.mediafire.com/file/rgejm06e ... arch-1.xzm with a big size.
I recommend the bottom one, which is what I did, then with it running you run my script, tweaked to the ucode in Blaze's module that works for your machine. That way you can replace the big module with the smaller one.

/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-62.ucode.xz hi sharo you need this one for your wifi device when you run a portable distro the firmware that have inside is not a full version so you can download the firmware package from slackware 15 and with the script txz2xzm -x make a porteus package ok is a huge one but you can run your device in a lot of different hardware.
http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackw ... arch-1.txz ....now is a right link sorry

hi the porteus 5-rc3 with the 5.12.14 porteus kernel have the firmware inside:
/run/media/root/287dc23a-2a41-486d-8b5c-7b4fad7f2cf3/Porteus-XFCE-v5.0rc3-x86_64/porteus/base/squashfs-root/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-62.ucode
the porteus 5 with the 5.18.8-porteus don't have this file,have another version of iwlwifi,you can bring the file from rc3 and put inside the firmware directory of the porteus 5 or download the kernel-firmware package from the slackware15 repository and make a xzm package so you don't have trouble with hardware,but is a big package.
YES, Porteus-CINNAMON-v5.0-x86_64 with /porteus/base/kernel-firmware-20220124_eb8ea1b-noarch-1.xzm has Internet!
Thank you!
P.S. The negative thing is the file kernel-firmware-20220124_eb8ea1b-noarch-1.xzm is 333MB...

Doubles the size of your Porteus system and probably slows down booting it. :(

I don't know what system you have beny. My Porteus 5.0 ISO on my SSD harddrive is 366,664 KB (367 MB) with a 001-core.xzm of 124,508 KB (125 MB). :happy62:
