I have my /etc/apt/sources.list set up thusly on my laptop which I just
switched over to Devuan Jessie Beta:

deb http://packages.devuan.org/merged jessie main contrib non-free

So far the wireless driver package, firmware-iwlwifi, is not listed in
the obsolete section.

packages.devuan.org is run by Amprolla, and provides overlays over
existing package repositories.  Forked packages that appear in the
devuan-packages group on git.do are present in devuan/pool/main.  If
it's not forked, it comes from Debian mirrors instead, hence not from
packages.do.

Devuan only packages free software. The non-free archive comes from
Debian.  Activate the non-free component, as you would in Debian, and
you should be set.
