Short answer: ipw2100, ipw2200, iwlwifi and zd1211 firmware are currently included in the default install. Answer on getting the answer: Check out comps[1] and look in the hardware-support group (as that's where firmware packages are being put). If the package is marked as default, then it'll get installed by default. The hardware-support group is installed by default on both regular installs and included on the live images.[2] > Other Ralink firmware status is unknow for now ... > (still in review process - but upstream do not bundle any license with > it) Given the freeze status, we're unlikely to add more firmwares to the default install of F7 before the release. Because by doing so, we're basically adding a feature and letting a driver do something... which then increases the chances for a driver blowing up on people.
