That's actually not the problem. We just stopped doing this because
they take a lot of RAM (since we have to build them on the fly).

We already have that: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24, and it's
distributed by default. Really, as soon as we get permission to
redistribute that firmware, we'll stick it into that package, and we
are done with it. </dream>
