Introduction
I've installed void linux on an x200 thinkpad with a minimimal install using an ethernet cable as i couldn't connect using wifi.
The problem
ip a
i have no ip address for my wifi device. I assume this is because i don't have the wifi driver installed:
lspci
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN
[Shiloh] Network Connection
I've queried the void linux musl respository and couldn't find a package for 5100 AGN wifi driver. How do i install the driver to get my wifi card to work and thus connect to the internet?

It must be called iwlwifi in Debian according to my 1 minute Google search, it might be a clue, it might be wrong. Beware it might need firmware. I suspect you are better off with Ubuntu.

Install the linux firmware package:
xbps-install linux-firmware
You will likely have to do this by chroot'ing into the root filesystem, since you do not have networking when booting into it.
