Should ipw2200-fw be in current?

Hi,

I just looked to see in which section ipw2200-fw was and I was surprised to find that it's in extra. Considering that it's essential for the operation of and ipw2200 card, wouldn't it make more sense to put it in current? (especially since, IIRC, you can't install packages from extra during the installation process)

Sincerely,
a guy with an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 card.

maybe it's a licensing issue.

it's not like you're alone anyway, all the extra wireless and network drivers live in [extra] and [unstable]
