I also complained about something along these lines earlier, this is not
how upstream drivers are supposed to work. Users should not be forced to
find correct files from somewhere, instead everything should just work
out of box.

Can anyone help Yegor to solve his problem? But in the long run wl18xx
really should manage this better.
