Comment 2 for bug 208545

Colin
Thanks for your reply. would it be OK to address another issue with you
regarding the linux-restricted modules. I have been unable to get an answer
as to why the Nvidia restricted modules are packaged together with Atheros
wireless drivers. This has caused me grief when I installed the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12 driver, as I could not then have wireless
networking functioning with the new driver. I know it is your position that
we should not leave the Debian install packages but it is very hard to keep
up with best of compiz with the restricted drivers. If you have any way to
separate restricted drivers I think it would help us. kenny
