Description

Hi there!
When im installed ThoriumOS on my HP Pavilion 14 ec-0009ur laptop, i see that there is no wifi. After going to ```dmesg```, i saw an error about ```fw invalid len```. Replacing prebuilt driver with recompiled from zero fixed my problem and wifi start working.

##Steps to reproduce:
Maybe, install ThoriumOS to any laptop with RTW89-compatible network adapter.

##Steps to fix:
Rebuild driver and replace prebuilt, or download binary of these drivers

Research direction

Start with the reported dmesg error, “fw invalid len,” and the RTW89 driver build or packaging entry point. Compare the prebuilt driver with a cleanly recompiled one and verify that an RTW89-compatible adapter obtains working Wi-Fi after installation without manually replacing the driver.
