Is there a good way to get debian live working with network with such a

build an image yourself, enable non-free, include the packages in the
package list.
Why isn't it possible to add packages from non-free from:
http://live-build.debian.net/cgi-bin/live-build ?
there is no (reasonable) guarantee that a user selection of non-free
packages would not create an undistributable image.
since the autobuiler is operated under US juristiction, this is a
problem we need to account for, hence non-free is not offered as an option.
Or it would be possible to make a not-official image with firmware.
yes, we're working on that and prebuild images with non-free included
will be served at some point from live.debian.net.
And I am wondering why there is no debian-live 6.0.4. I need the latest
2.6.32 kernel for that networkcard (Realtek 8111E, is in most new machines).
there is, i just didn't move it to the proper directory name.
