Yes, that makes sense of course.
In that case, maybe there would be a way to allow the user to ssh-copy whatever firmware they need into the mod. That would take the burden away from you guys (I mean, outside of that very limited subset that you might agree to maintain on your side). Actually, all that we would be needed on the community side would be a simple tool to build the particular kernel module that we would need for a particular chipset and a simple procedure to install it inside the mod along with whatever firmware is required.
