Notice that approaching those upstream about those problems may be a solution,
all major distribs are now moving to 2.6 or will soon be, so they either drop
support entirely, free the drivers so that we can port them, or do their job
and port it.
The non-free firmware issues show that it is possible to get positive action
from upstream, despite those saying we will never get any reply from broadcom
for example.
