hi

several  endusers  with  WIFI  Laptops   are stuck  as they dont have a wirered  connection and cant install firmware to their WIFI


   The process to install  packages from the DVD release media is missing from the Handbook


Insert DVD in DVD player, gain root privileges.

#
mkdir /dist
#
mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0  /dist
#
 export REPOS_DIR=/dist/packages/repos

you may need to bootstrap pkg
pkg bootdtrap -y
#
then all PKG commands you do in this session fetches packages from the DVD.

such as:

# pkg install wifi-firmware-rtw88-kmod


Please add this to the handbook   at the end of chapter 2.


Regards

//Lars
