Missing firmware for BE201

[manatails]

I am trying to install Linux onto my laptop but it is failing to init the BE201 wireless chipset due to missing firmware files.

iwlwifi is looking for files from iwlwifi-bz-a0-fm-a0-72.ucode to iwlwifi-bz-a0-fm-a0-39.ucode but none of them seems to be publicly available on the internet. Please tell me how to retrieve those files and/or add them to the linux firmware repo.

1. What is the complete model of your laptop? If available, kindly provide the product link.

2. Have you confirmed that your laptop is compatible with the Linux operating system?

3. Which specific firmware are you attempting to install?

4. Was this working fine before?

5. Is this the original adapter that came pre-installed in your system, or have you changed/installed a new adapter recently?

I look forward to your response.

Nevermind, I updated the kernel and it selects the correct firmware file now.
