No worries, and big thank you to both of you for all your hard work on this. Very much appreciated and I will do some testing of the latest to confirm it works. As an aside, it was useful and interesting to look into the repositories and see what was involved.

I did at one point take a stab at looking what would be involved to help with updates but backed off until the current updates have gone through.
With that done, I'm very happy to try and help with updates going forward. I know that for many people in the Debian community that dealing with non-free FW is not much fun or interest :)
I will give it a go in the future, but do feel free to ping me if you're looking for a pair of hands to do some work on this.

Hope you get to enjoy Korea :)
