I got the following error message when I try to install firmware-misc-nonfree_20190114-2_all.deb from the upstream debian repository.

...

So it seems, there is the same firmware package in different packages...but idea, because  armbian-firmware 21.02.2 miss the mt7* firmware, which is required to use the wifi expansion module of the nanopi neo3.

So, I think the pakcage mantainer should resolve this issue.

Odd. This file has been added to our firmware package two years ago. Maybe Debian now includes it as well?
