The repo named WOA-Project as a source and called its cabinets "the easiest route", while aarch64-laptops appeared only as a place where files "have circulated before" — despite it having actual .mbn files checked into its tree and being where the WiFi trio used in today's testing came from. That ranking was mine, not something the evidence supports. Both are now documented with what each actually contains. They overlap and neither is a superset: WOA-Project is the only source of the two for qcdxkmsuc850.mbn, qcadsp850.mbn, qccdsp850.mbn, qcslpi850.mbn, qcvss850.mbn and ipa_fws.elf, and publishes nine versions whose cabinets differ. aarch64-laptops carries the modem/WLAN trio, the bdwlan board data, a prebuilt board-2.bin and the script that makes it, a630_gmu.bin, the machine's ACPI tables and a device tree — none of which WOA-Project has, and it has none of the six above. Its wifi/firmware-5.bin is an HTML error page rather than firmware, which is worth knowing before copying it somewhere. Also restate the modem result without implying a verdict on either source. Both sets produce the identical QLINK failure here; that shows changing firmware does not change the outcome, not that either set is wrong, and not that one is more trustworthy than the other.
