Attempted to install wifi "firmwares" from Windows per instructions at
https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/wireless and since I'm on a
purely wireless connection I installed 'wget' and downloaded the script
which - per the Notes section - can be run from ''any other OS''.

Pure rubbish. Windows doesn't recognise shell scripts. Well, it might with
a full Unix shell emulation, but that's a bit much to expect. End result
is that I can't connect to the internet on this machine using Haiku.

How about someone just bundles up the files in a zipfile for download?
