Subject: Re: firmware patches

I'm working on separation of firmware with my Debian hat on.  Please use
this email address or <benh@...ian.org> in connection with that work.

So far as I know, all firmware is now separated out in the Debian
packages, with the exception of some that just sneaked in through
drivers/staging.  The patches we are applying to 2.6.29 have all been
accepted into a tree destined for 2.6.30, except for the DRM drivers
(mga, r128 and radeon).  Are you aware of anything we've missed?

Ben.
