Firmware.  A lot of newer WiFi cards need firmware loading, and we need a
way to get that into the system.  Even stock-kernel drivers often need a
separate firmware file, because it's specific to the card model and/or is
non-distributable.  That's also a PITA because it'll need to be loaded by
the user on startup, before the network is available.

I really cannot see the vaunted benefits for the consumer of boot-time
loaded firmware...
