New issue by TotallyEz on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/41867
Description:
### Is this a new report?
Yes
### System Info
Typing from another distro
### Package(s) Affected
linux-firmware
### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
_No response_
### Expected behaviour
The firmware package provided by the iso is expected to contain mediatek WLAN drivers in a folder titled as mediatek as shown in the package's github.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/mediatek
This issue can be temporally solved by migrating files from the previously mentioned github to the installed system and reinstalling linux-firmware (whilst overriding the previously migrated files).Although simple this may be quite cumbersome for new users of Void.
### Actual behaviour
The firmware package provided by the iso on the following path /lib/firmware/ is missing the mediatek folder which contains the WLAN drivers for multiple mediatek wifi cards.Resulting in void being unable to detect WIFI on systems with Mediatek WLAN drivers.
### Steps to reproduce
1)Download the base/xfce iso
2)Flash it
3)Boot into iso
