Adapt the preflight protection from #128 without its firmware backup or
other installer policy changes. Build a clean private copy against the
running kernel before firmware replacement or DKMS removal. Treat log
initialization failure as an error and add mocked main-flow regressions.

Follow up issue #117: use each module chip enum and the real Wi-Fi device, preserve flat-layout fallback on missing files, and handle allocation and size failures. Based on the report by ggorbi99-dev.
Declare the installed firmware and configuration paths on both USB modules so initramfs tools can include the matched set. Preserve failed system configuration and firmware-download errors instead of binding an interface after cleanup. Keep intentional reboot/re-enumeration returns unchanged.
Addresses #117. Validated with extracted probe regression cases, inventory/modinfo checks and all three modules built against Linux 6.8 and 6.17 headers; no Kylin boot hardware validation.
Install Arch dependencies using the existing package database and explain how to recover from stale package metadata. Avoid errexit on the first firmware count, handle Secure Boot prompt EOF as cancellation, propagate error traps into functions, and reject empty firmware sources before modifying installed firmware.
Validation: eight isolated installer regression tests pass; the original installer fails the affected cases. Bash syntax and ShellCheck error-level checks pass. Fixes#100. Addresses the confirmed findings in #108; other audit suggestions remain separate.
27af5ad added the CFG80211_VERSION make variable for OpenWrt builds that
use a newer mac80211 backport than the target kernel, but it is only
described in a Makefile comment. Document how to pass it from an OpenWrt
package Makefile, link the notes from the installation steps, and add
the build script and the kernel/backports combinations verified for
issue #94.
