I did this again after realising that my firmware version could be
outdated. And yes, after copying the files, the Raspberry booted with
the network becoming available.

I am fighting at the moment with a very strange thing. I work a lot
with jails. After building 10.1 from sources for the Raspberry and a
reboot on the machine used, my jails do not connect to the network
anymore.

I also compiled now most of my software I will need on the Raspberry
itself without major problems.
