Patches are welcome short story long: Debian-Installer is free software: * you have the freedom to use it * you have the freedom to study it * you have the freedom to modify it If someone wants to add integration of easy inclusion of kernel modules who are not yet in the mainline kernel, someone is free to do so. There is need for a permission to spend resources on such effort.
