I am trying to install a firmware to enable the wireless on my laptop.
This is what I did, but to no avail,

Downloaded firmware from "firmware.openbsd.org.firmware/7.5/"
(funny,but it has no URL)
and the SHA256.sig, into the Downloads directory.

bilbao# fw_update -F radeondrm-firmware-20240220.tgz
fw_update:grep: ./SHA256.sig: No such file or directory
Cannot download local file radeondrm-firmware-20240220.tgz

bilbao# fw_update -F -p firmware.openbad.org/firmware/7.5/radeondrm-firmware-
20240220.tgz
The path must be a URL or an existing directory

bilbao# fw_update -F radeondrm-firmware-20240220.tgz
fw_update: download radeondrm

bilbao# pkg_add radeondrm-firmware-20240220.tgz
quirks-7.14 signed on 2024-05-03T08:41:35Z
file:./radeondrm-firmware-20240220.tgz: signify: incorrect keytype:
openbsd-75-fw.pub is not pkg
Can't find radeondrm-firmware-20240220.tgz
Couldn't install radeondrm-firmware-20240220

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you tried this:

# fw_update -v radeondrm

I think that should work, it worked for me on
OpenBSD 7.5 amd64 when I installed iwn manually.

After some internet search and reading the OpenBSD manuals, found that
my wireless version is not supported.
Thank you.
