Should I request that you install propietary firmware for my sound card too so that everybody can record my voice too?
What's the purpose of having a non-working wifi card? If you have concerns with firmwares, swap your card with, for example, an atheros or another card that doesn't need a firmware. And, btw, the other firmware is for a webcam (uvideo), not the video card... Ciao David
