Hello there! This is just the oldest available version I found, with the far smallest footprint. This package exists to fill the dependency for the Linux kernel, not to provide any latest firmware files. This packages is recommended for virtual installation, just like the description says. Regards

@TheGoliath The firmware files were last updated in 2013. The alternative to this package that I use is via pacman configuration.
An example is (/etc/pacman.conf):
That line would extract only the firmware files in
rtw88
andrtl_nic
. You will have to edit this in order to include all the files that you need. If you would like any help just email me (rhysperry111 AT gmail DOT com).I would not recommend using this package unless you are keeping a very outdated kernel

What does this package do to make the firmware minimal? Is there any list of all pieces of firmware it excludes? The source link just seems to go to an old version of the firmware (circa 2010)
