New boot image with kernel 6.7.1 is available

The new image for Kernel 6.7.1, Ubuntu 23.10 can be found here.

It is kernel 6.7.1 (6.6.0 is also in the menu), has proven to be the most stable over the last weeks here. Especially the Display Port DRM sorcery seems to work quite well.

What else is new:

• bootmac is used to set constant, vendor-OUI like, "unique" MAC addresses on WLAN and BT.
• WLAN / BT: current firmware and board file (calibration data) as best fit for the WDK2023 is installed. Very usable now.
• firmwares are now in the /usr/lib/firmware/updates section and don't collide with linux-firmware updates.
• USB-C display works on one of the USB-C ports (investigation ongoing), but this is nice.
• snap is kinda picky. You need to do sudo snap refresh several times, as long as its complaining (twice per installed snap if I counted correctly) to get it updated. Should be necessary only once.

The same image is also available in a rooted state for debug purposes. Login or ssh as root with password FsecuritY!. With this it should be possible to get into a device that boots and shows up on the net, like the Surface Pro 9 5G.
