Bug Description
In Hardy, the firmware for ipw2200 wireless cards was in linux-ubuntu-
In Intrepid, the firmware is in linux-restricte
Users who do not have restricted enabled, or don't have l-r-m-common will find themselves lacking wireless when they upgrade.
Was the firmware incorrectly included in main in the first place?

The licence for this firmware is http:// ipw2200. sourceforge. net/firmware. php?fid= 7 which appears to grant redistribution (IANAL, LOL, BBQ)
