Description: Kali's default firmware files
This metapackage depends on a curated list of firmware packages that
should be installed by default for better hardware support in Kali Linux.
.
Some firmware packages are excluded. Many reasons can explain those
exclusions: they are too big, they are only useful for uncommon hardware, they
require click-through licenses, they are for hardware that is not really
relevant in the context of Kali, etc.
