Oh, I see. What I did was to add it to every list that includes nic- wireless-modules, forgetting that for "CD" images that's not present in the initramfs and will get installed later. I think the cleanest solution, that I originally intended to implement, is to make it a dependency of nic-wireless-modules, but that was going to require changing kernel-wedge. But I don't have time to do that now, so I'm happy with your change. The size increase will be negligible. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Design a system any fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it.
