I don't really mean it. I think when the "dependency" is across some hard interface like the PCI bus, a serial port, or a network, it is none of Debian's business. As far as I can tell, the arguments that a driver depends on firmware apply equally well to those programs that talk across some communications link to another program. If the general conclusion is that the driver depends on firmware, I would like to know what makes the packages I listed different. Michael Poole
