I wonder if it didn't realize that the 92 firmware existed and just tried
for the 93 firmware.  It detected the network interface but looked like
it was trying to treat it as a wired ethernet port and ran dhcp on it
rather than ask about wifi.  That of course did not work.

syslog attached.  Hopefully that works.

I wonder why the firmware package doesn't have the version the kernel
is looking for.  Perhaps it needs an update?

If any changes are made I can definitely try another install to test it.

Definitely possible.  Odd that a sound chip needs firmware, but
unfortunate that it isn't handled automatically given installing the
firmware package needed was the only thing it required to fully work.
