That's the reason my WiFi broke... I've enabled the non-free-firmware repository (for another unrelated issue with audio not working). It installed several packages and after reboot, wifi was not working anymore with kernel complaining about missing .bin file. A search in the archive pointed to bullseyes package as anything more recent doesn't include it.

I'll test it again for completeness and send the result here.

Thanks
