Package: firmware-nonfree Severity: wishlist most firmware works with a certain range of kernel versions. if that range is not big enough to include stable and testing, then, once one is using backports, one can no longer reasonably use the older kernel.
practical example: on a squeeze system that needs bnx2 firmware, once you installed the backported kernel and firmware, the system will not have network anymore with the squeeze kernel (albeit both kernel packages can be properly co-installed). therefore, please make the firmware packages versioned (firmware-bnx2-3.2 or so). -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
