For the record, I think it's a bug that your driver will refuse to
work now, when not provided the optional WoW firmware:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207607

It's fine to hint to packagers that they should include both, but it's
not very kind to kill WiFi entirely just because this features won't
work.
