Hi Diederik,

My bad. Let me explain again. Taking into account the firmware errors:

   - Realtek messages are fixed now. There are no actions to be done here.
   - iwlwifi: If you are still working on a new version containing the -83
   file, that should fix some warning messages but not all of them. There is
   another message (*firmware: failed to load iwl-debug-yoyo.bin (-2)*)
   that I think is related to bug #966218. This bug has been there for a
   while, so I don't know what's happening here. Nobody explains what's going
   on or why this file is not included in the firmware package.

Thanks!
