Quoting Brian Potkin (claremont102@gmail.com):
Perhaps the installer could warn the user if her video card is among those
listed in AtiHowTo and the installer doesn't see the firmware supplied
somewhere by the user. Perhaps just a referral to the wiki page ?
Didn't the installer ask for RV610_pfp.bin to be supplied?
Logically, no. Firmware for video cards is none of the installer's
business. Of coure, from the user point of view, all this is related,
but from the logical organisation of packages, it is not. Unless I
missed something somewhere (which is possible), we focus out
firmware-related attention on network cards.
