I tried to rebuild my kernel, but the build failed because a wifi firmware image that I build into the kernel was missing from /lib/firmware. Dropping back from linux-firmware-20230210 to linux-firmware-20230117 fixed the problem. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Update to recent linux-firmware 2.Configure a kernel to build in iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-33.ucode 3.Build kernel Actual Results: Build fails, saying that a dependency, iwlwifi-etc. is not found. Expected Results: Kernel is built as configured.
This was removed by upstream: commit d11eb6f9ac2950b6c96bc54df791dcd7f170cd3c Author: Peter Robinson <pbrobinson@gmail.com> Date: Thu Jan 19 20:42:55 2023 +0000 iwlwifi: remove old unsupported older than 4.14 LTS The 4.9 LTS is now EOL so we can now drop the older firmware that was required by the 4.4 LTS series. This removes the extra iwlwifi 1k/3k/5k/6k/7k/8k/9k series of device that are no longer used by a supported kernel series.

Any reason you are not using a newer firmware version ?
I was under the impression that this was the only version that would load in this part. How should I find out what firmware file I should be using?
