I anticipated and tested the current squeeze .iso from Jan 11th and
things have definitely changed.
The installer detects the card correctly and pops up a new screen asking
me whether I want to load the firmware from external media - usb stick,
etc.
Much less confusing than with the etch installer but the firmware is
apparently still not available as part of the .iso that I downloaded.
Will run another test with the daily build as you requested.
Thank you for your comments.
