then lets get the udev extension merged upstream (since it doesn't do
any harm anyway) and then install everything in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`
and see how that works out.
So Ubuntu will obviously not break since it does this already. For
Fedora deploying new packages for 8 and 9 should not be a problem at all
once the maintainer is convinced that it is a good idea. They update
packages all the time anyway. For the other distros, I don't know.
Regards
Marcel
