Hello,

I am installing OpenBSD on an old xps13 9380. The WiFi is not supported and so 
I am using a usb dongle for which I need the athn-firmware. I get it to work 
and now wanting to prep a USB disk with all necessary firmware. I'm following 
the FAQ#4 on the website (I suppose it works with more firmware than just the 
WiFi).

So, now to my question. Using fw_update -F to the current dir does download all 
firmware (5 files) and SHA256.sig. However, the file SHA256.sig does not 
include the signature, using signify like so: 

signify -Cp /etc/signify/openbsd-73-fw.pub -x SHA256.sig *

Fails with message: invalid comment in SHA256.sig; must start with 'untrusted 
comment: '

Downloading the SHA256.sig from firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/7.3/SHA256.sig 
which includes the signature does work.

Is it that normal behaviour? Since the firmware.openbsd.org site is not HTTPS, 
and that, at least for me, fw_update does not download signed SHA256.sig, would 
it not be possible to download unintended files?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas
