Here is what I did:

    1. dd-ed the image onto a USB stick
    2. ran fdisk -w never -W never on it, created a fourth partition of
    500MB, set its type to FAT12
    3. ran mkfs -t vfat on the partition
    4. mounted the official alpha installer image
    5. copied all files from the firmware directory on the official image
    into the new partition
    6. unmounted
    7. Booted the P1 Gen3 laptop, confirmed that I want to load firmware,
    and it showed the available SSIDs, as expected
    8. Booted the P1 Gen7 laptop, confirmed that I want to load firmware,
    and it showed the "No network interfaces detected" screen, as expected
    9. Took a screenshot and also a screenshot of the log virtual console
    with the /lib/netcfg/is_wireless messages, see attached images.
