Hi,
Sorry, what, I'm confused.

That's intentional... We released -77 firmware for this device in 2022,
a little over two years ago. We can't and won't support ancient firmware
*forever*. We've already supported it for a very long time.

I have no idea what might be the issue here. Perhaps your kernel ends up
too big for the way you're booting it? If you insist on booting without
initramfs but with iwlwifi built-in, you need to debug and fix *this*.
Or I guess you could always try probing/binding the driver again after
the system really boots.

but I guess that's when you try to have wifi built-in and no firmware
built-in
