Description

is it possible to have the wifi-firmware included on the cd-images, so that one doesn't need a wired connection to install it from the internet. The problem is, that now the new notebooks (especially some ultrabooks) dont have the ethernet jack anymore.

If I recall correctly, the license on (some) of the firmware blobs doesn't legally allow us to do that, otherwise we would.

That is sadly the case, yes.
