Sorry to be late about this, but i think that removing plugin support is
not so nice, especially as you then loose pppoatm support, and this
would mean no installation over pppoatm ADSL modems.

And yes, i plan to somehow make the unicorn drivers available as udebs,
altough i don't know yet how i will achieve that and since they are
non-free, they cannot go into the official medias.
