Bug#464968: add support for non-free firmware packages



Package: discover-data
Version: 2.2008.01.12
Severity: normal

There are several firmware packages in non-free. I suspect there will be
more soon, given all the ethernet driver firmware that has been removed
from the kernel lately. These packages are low-hanging fruit that it
would be easy for discover to support, since all it has to do is install
them, no module-assistant complications involved. I've listed the
modules that use each firmware; you can figure out what PCI ids or USB
devices these kernel modules support by looking at the modules.alias file.

package			kernel modules
firmware-iwlwifi	iwl3945 iwl4965
firmware-qlogic		qla2xxx
firmware-ralink		rt61pci rt73usb
zd1211-firmware		zd1211rw
bluez-firmware		bcm203x
atmel-firmware		atmel atmel_cs atmel_pci

I suggest adding all of these to the database.

I also think we need to move on with getting d-i to use discover-pkginstall,
sooner rather than later.
