Announcing release v1.7.3 of my fork of pwnagotchi
Added nexmon firmware patch bcm43430a1/7_45_41_46 in an attempt to support RPiZ2Ws that use the RPi3 wifi chip (see https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/issues/23 for further information)

Is it the PC, the PI, or the WiFi Router?
Rather than downloading the new driver from a random google drive (Step 1), I went to the source on GitHub: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/buster/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 Successfully Installed Void Linux
The main issue I ran into was Wi-Fi support. The Pi Zero 2 requires firmware from the Raspberry Pi firmware repository in order to get access to the wlan0 interface. Found here: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/tree/buster/brcm

zero 2 w wifi driver licence
I managed to get this working by copying the files from this repository to the /lib/firmware/brcm directory: https://github.com/bsdkurt/brcm-supplemental They are renamed files from the official Raspberry Pi repository for non-free firmware: Source Location: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/tree/master/brcm Renamed to be board specific and set ccode=X2: brcmfmac43436-sdio.raspberrypi,model-zero-2-w.bin brcmfmac43436-sdio.raspberrypi,model-zero-2-w.clm_blob brcmfmac43436-sdio.raspberrypi,model-zero-2-w.txt

How to enable wifi on Raspberry PI 400?
The directory for these files is /lib/firmware/brcm. You will need to download the brcmfmac43456 version of those three files available at https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/tree/master/brcm or grabbing from a working PiOS. But Kali will still try to load the brcmfmac4345 ones, so you need to rename the brcmfmac43456 to change that 6 to a 5.
