Slackware64-current not able to load driver for AX201 on HP Envy laptop


I just purchased a HP Envy Laptop 15-ep1013dx. The laptop comes with an Intel WiFi 6 AX201 wireless NIC. I am running a copy of slackware64-current downloaded on Dec 22, 2021 that is installed on multiple desktop machines on this computer. When I start the machine, the driver for the wireless NIC fails with the following message in the syslog:

Code:
iwlwifi 0000:00:14:3: Direct firmware download for iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-66.ucode failed with error -2
It subsequently fails for b0-65 and b0-64. According to Intel's website, the AX201 has been supported in the linux kernel since kernel 5.2. My kernel is 5.15.10. I don't understand why I'm having so much problems and would appreciate any help to resolve this.

I was able to solve this by downloading a more recent version of the iwlwifi-QuZ file. I'll mark this thread as solved.
