i know, that's what i said, so again, explicitly: should i merge
firmware-iwl3945 and firmware-iwl4965 into firmware-iwlwifi?

i know. that's what i've already said in <[🔎] 468C9546.6060201@debian.org>
before.

the bottom line of the thread on legal about ipw2100/ipw2200 is, that if
we display the license to the user (similar as sun-java* does it), we
can distribute it. that's also what we have talked about in #debian.de
in march.
