Hi Chris

An idea:

1. Boot normally: not disk-based
2. Run lsmod and find out which module provides wifi
3. Boot in disk-based mode
4. modprobe the module

If it fails send the error-message.

Another idea:

1. Install all linux-firmare package: apk add linux-firmware

Best,
Jean-Louis
