[Feature Request] Add Wireless Firmware & Network-Manager.

[ghost]

Our wireless network story isn't great at the minute; In-tow with what the default (ie: non 'non-free' / firmware) Debian iso provides. We should include the 'non-free' repo by default and this (probably incomplete) list of driver packages:

firmware-linux-nonfree
firmware-iwlwifi
firmware-atheros
firmware-realtek

Also, we should include the network-manager package; Which is now the standard way in Linux to connect to this stack. Said package also appears to ship 'nmtui' a nice little terminal-bound front-end to manage it -- which is great to have, until we have something user-facing on our end.

Sounds good. Ideally the network module in FyneDesk would have basic support for choosing / connecting to WiFi.

Yeah, nmtui would def be a stopgap solution -- but good to have, I think, in any case.

I mentioned this in the Discord a few days ago, but for convenience / future-reference:

It looks like in Debian 12 (Bookworm) there is now a dedicated non-free-firmware repo; Most if-not all of the listed packages above will be found there in 12 and onwards.

Debian 12 will be an enabler for various Fyne tooling things too, excited that they have started the freeze process!
