I think it would be nice to have those firmware in Lenny. Even though
it's very late in the release cycle, I assume the risk is add them is
rather low since:
1. The firmware haven't changed for ages.
2. The packages will be in non-free (i.e not supported by Debian).
Is there anything I could do to help?
I assume I should open 2 bugs for the patches, right ?
Franklin
