@Dieter: On another note, you should probably remove the intel modem drivers from the package list (intel-536ep, intel-537). Also add the intel 5150 firmware which is missing until now.
Can you give us more info on the 2 to remove? why should we remove them?
I don't see a reason for them to be there. They're drivers for some internal windows modems, which are too slow for FTP installation anyway. And I don't like binary blobs on our ISO.
dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ pacman -Ss intel | grep 5150 core/iwlwifi-5150-ucode 8.24.2.2-1 Intel wireless firmware for Intel Wireless WiFi 5150AGN
this is the one we should include?
Yes. The 5000-ucode support all 5XXX cards except the 5150.
@ all: is there an easy way to check if we should include any more drivers? We probably didn't give enough attention to the package list
Most is in-kernel anyway.
Ok, i added iwlwifi-5150-ucode to packages lists on sigurd, so it is in the next images (RC). I don't add the brltty package, cause this would install most of X libs etc. as depends.. We should think about that when looking closer to barriere free solution... I remove the intel-536ep, intel-537 from the i686 package list. I also will add pcmcia hook to the initrd images, so install devices on this bus could also be used... Gerhard
