Hi,
Today I was updating the system and a kernel update came in. And in between it some warnings about missing firmware modules.
Is there anything that can be done to fix it?
Or better, is it necessary?

Not Necessary, Just ignore we all see that or something close.

I looked a bit into this, it would probably be better to install the specific ones from the messages you got.
Could be different for each user.

Nope, no need to install anything. All of those are some ancient ones that are not needed in current hardwares
Mick_Abel:
mkinitcpio-firmware
It looks like it just updates the mkinitcpio firmware. It doesn’t install anything, if I’m not mistaken.
Edit: Sorry, the reply was for @inffy .
It is not necessary, but it does no harm

I meant, if you were to do it, not that you need to.
