fix(install): keep linux-firmware-realtek in the Framework trim
velox's first post-trim boot showed r8152 failing to load rtl_nic/rtl8156b-2.fw — the Framework Ethernet expansion card is a Realtek RTL8156B, so the trim list was wrong to drop realtek firmware. The driver runs on internal defaults without the blob, so nothing broke, but the package is back on velox and out of the removal list.

Wifi connected, TLP active, graphics fine. One dmesg hit: r8152 failed to load rtl_nic/rtl8156b-2.fw — the Framework Ethernet expansion card (RTL8156B) is Realtek, so the trim list wrongly dropped linux-firmware-realtek (a Realtek laptop camera is on USB too). Reinstalled the package on velox (its hook rebuilt the initramfs) and removed realtek from archsetup's trim list. The driver worked even without the blob (internal-defaults fallback), so this was correctness, not breakage. * Archsetup Resolved |
