Feature request: Include iwlwifi kernel module as part of standard kernel build #6672

Description

@timwb

Describe the bug

This kernel module was already included in kernel 6.6 with feature request #6497 - However in the -next firmware branch with kernel 6.12 it's missing again. Can iwlwifi be added to that one (and all subsequent versions) as well? Thanks in advance!

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  • Get a Pi 5, M.2 E-key HAT and Intel BE200 card. Works with Raspbian out of the box.
  • Run BRANCH=next rpi-update & reboot
  • Card no longer works because there's no iwlwifi module.
