Perhaps manufacturers who only distribute firmware binaries could provide
the kernel operating groups urls to put into the "make config". That way
when I or someone else goes to build or install an initial kernel, you do
not get a "kiddie-wumpus" kernel installation with drivers that do not
work.
What happens when you install with Anaconda from CD or HD and the only
network connection is your wireless NIC? Are you assuming that the firmware
is locally available to the installation kernel, perhaps as a linked-in
image?
