I am very interested in giving this a try.
Is it actually in a working state currently? Also do you know anything about the current working status of the original from mbakke?
Thanks.

I used this as a template for setting up a custom kernel 4.15.6 as of today. Took some finessing to figure out how to get and assign version and sha256 hashes, but everything works smoothly here, and I can have some wifi at last on my mostly libre machine. Ask me if you have a question with getting a custom kernel to boot your guixSD

Do you a recipe of the steps you followed to set up the custom kernel??
