Hi,

since we have some kind of a next-generation installer, when it comes to
installation of (non-free) firmware, I'm closing all related old bugreports.

They have been helpful at the time, when they were filed, however now we have
a completely new situation / mechanism in place for this, so let's make a cut
now and close such bugs, and let people file new ones with recent installer
versions, if they still experience problems.


Thanks to all reporters!

Holger
