From b474ac376ec1e5f608a88b1ddebbdd7fd7ee528f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: cproudlock Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 10:14:57 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] pxe: let BIOS Blancco boots load iwlwifi for cloud licensing 7.20 licenses through the Blancco cloud, and on the air-gapped PXE LAN the only route out is WiFi INTERNETACCESS. The legacy BIOS cmdline still blacklisted iwlwifi/iwlmvm, so BIOS boots could never license. btusb stays blacklisted; rd.udev.timeout=10 bounds the udev hang iwlwifi caused on some Intel machines.
