Argh. Please *don't* conflate *firmware* and *drivers* here, it confuses lots of people. In Debian, firmware is extra software that's normally loaded onto a device; that can come with the device, or might be loaded into it at initialisation time. *Drivers* are normally software run on your main CPU (typically, but not always in the kernel) to talk to the device later. We routinely provide *non-free firmware* in Debian installation and live images since the firmware GR before the Bookworm release. But definitely we do *not* include non-free drivers that way. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
