Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-wlan-ng

After the prism2_usb kernel driver got fixed to not need userspace tools, and we got it into the Ubuntu kernel (from staging) the only useful binary from linux-wlan-ng is the prism2-firmware-installer package. And this package is not very useful without an internet connection (it just downloads a non-distributable firmware file) so it does not help much to have it on the live-cd.

So the old binaries linux-wlan-ng* are not useful any longer and can definitely go to universe, while prism2-firmware-installer is useful and could be in main but does not need to if it is not on the live CD.
