Example, in my lenovo laptop's case:

If my post above isn't immediately clear then,
How to install these firmware only directly to stop the system from meandering:
iwlwifi-7265D-22.ucode, version 22.361476.0 op_mode iwlmvm, hid-rmi 0018:06CB:8251.0002: firmware id: 2529025 and r8169 0000:01:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_nic/rtl8168g-3.fw
Irrespective of tiny time shown to be used up during the boot time, the boot time is considerable, especially as the screen is reset from 640X480 to the maximum permissible screen resolution and internet access [Up] is checked and activated., with a typo comment: A start job is running for Raise network interfaces (with time, counting, counting, and counting ...) . At least, (Still later edit) 1min 15-16 sec. May this link be looked at for time wasted. This wastage of time in searching while booting every time is irritating.
