    The carl firmware at https://github.com/chunkeey/carl9170fw should put that argument to rest. That is Wifi firmware source code for the Wifi I currently use.

    Easily changed likely means there's a physical knob somewhere that you could accidentially poke as a layperson.

    Not that you get a three year CS education, figure out how your distribution packages dependencies, install the correct embedded toolchain (good luck), find out exactly which chip is in your device, fetch the proper firmware source code in the right version, build the thing, figure out how to flash the result onto the chip / read the Linux kernel sources to figure out the filename inside /lib/firmware. That's not easy.

    Even if this entire process was packaged (it is--see <https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-linux-free>), it probably still doesn't count (or at least shouldn't count) as "easily" changed.

    There are some cards with open source firmware, you might be able to modify it to do something like that.

    yes kkkkkk, the project mu have a strange way to build, and project mu have a not usable documentation, i think is because microsoft is microsoft, the project mu is a OEM Firmware as Service, the reason for not have a easy documentation can be for seal a service. in the past i have make a question about coreboot support https://github.com/microsoft/mu/issues/121

    The stock edk2 menu has, like, two items.

    System76 have built a more serious setup UI: https://github.com/system76/firmware-setup

    Microsoft’s https://github.com/microsoft/mu also probably contains UI from the Surface line or something??
