Thanks for the feedback Craig. I imagine since linux-ubuntu-modules went away for Intrepid, firmware that used to reside in that package was pushed to linux-restricted-modules. The concerns you have mentioned were also raised to the Ubuntu kernel team and will be addressed and tracked in bug 279669 . I'd encourage you to subscribe to that bug report so you are notified of any updates. I'll also post a note to that report referencing this one. Thanks.
