there's also the (already mentioned) use case where one network adapter (e.g. the wired one) will work fine, but you need non-free firmware for another adapter (wifi). while this will successfully bootstrap the system to a point where the user can launch a browser and duckduckgo why their wifi is not working (as long as they stay wired) and eventually fix it, i think it is still a kind of "bummer" experience for a *new* user, likely to turn them away. which might turn the questions into something like: [] stay free (no wifi) [] enable all network devices (install non-free software) (these are only meant to replace your suggestion in specific situtations) gfdsamr IOhannes
