Package: linux-2.6

I got the following message when upgrading the kernel about a firmware
that might be missing.  On this particular, the firmware is not needed
because it doesn't have a l8168 chip.

Could this firmware warning be smarter, e.g. by looking at the actual
chip and only showing the warning when the firmware is necessary?
