That does not make much sense, IMHO:
- The rt61 and rt73 chips need non-free firmware that is not included on
the Debian disks. So you lose anyway, if you have such a device. The
older 2400/2500/2570 chipsets don't have that problem, but they are
not produced any more. :-(
- More important (and better news) is that the rt2x00 drivers are
included in Linux 2.6.24, so Lenny will probably ship binary modules
for ralink chips (and the rt2x00-source package can be removed). :-)
Cheers,
Sven
