I'm new this forum and also to the Devuan distro.

I'm here to ask if someone already encountered some problems using a PCIe Intel WiFi card.
I installed Devuan ASCII copying the DVD iso to and USB stick and connecting, during the
installation, my PC to router-modem via ethernet.

When the install program has detected that my PC had a PCIe Intel WiFi card, it asked me
if I had a removable media to attach on which non-firmware for iwlwifi-7265D-26.ucode,
7265D-25.ucode, 7265D-24.ucode and 7265D-23.ucode was present.
I answered no an I continued. Finally the installation process completed successfully.

The problem arose when I made the first restart: the booting process stalled after some
warnings and errors were reported on the screen regarding wifi driver problems.
After a while the boot process continued again until I finally got the login.
This behavior is repeated every time I turn on my PC.
The strange thing is that, after all, my wifi is working because I can start a Firefox session
and surfing around.

Following some information catched from my system:

root@pc:~# uname -a
Linux pc 4.9.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u1 (2019-09-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here the logs reporting the errors (about wifi) I got during boot process
(It seems the system is unable to load 7265D-23/24/25/26 firmwares,
only the 7265D-22 is correctly loaded):

Following I report the configuration of wicd manager:

Here I checked which iwlwifi module information.
Of the 7265D family, only iwlwifi-7265D-26.ucode is listed.

Here I report the firmwares present in the firmware/lib directory
(the 7265D-23/24/25/26 codes are *NOT* present!)

root@pc:~# ls /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-* |grep 7265
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265-12.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265-14.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265-16.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265-17.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265-9.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-12.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-14.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-16.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-17.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-21.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-22.ucode

And finally the output of dpkg --list |grep iwlwifi:

ii  firmware-iwlwifi  20161130-5    all    Binary firmware for Intel Wireless cards

So the only explanation I can give is that the iwlwifi firmware present in
Devuan ascii is a little bit dated respect to the wireless card I have
installed on my machine.
Are I am wrong or I am on the right way to further investigate?
Thanks in advance to everyone who can give me some suggestions.
