Even granting that, it does not establish a very clear dependency chain from the firmware to the driver. Is the driver case different from the various network clients (AIM, Exchange, etc.) in Debian with no server implementations in main? If so, why? Michael Poole P.S. I am subscribed to debian-legal.
