Which wireless card is supported by debian without any sourceless
firmware, either loaded by the kernel or present on the chip?
Would you imply that wireless networking should never be usable by
debian users, if it turns out that publication of sourcecode is illegal
in countries like the US or the EU? (Modifications of the firmware are
probably illegal, because they can modify the electromagnetic emission
of the devices, potentially killing people around it.)
Consider these questions rhetorical, since they have already been
answered here and/or on debian-devel.
