Comment (by umccullough):
Correct, we cannot include the intel 2100 firmware in any official package
because there are redistribution restrictions requiring a user to agree to
Intel's license before downloading it.
As such, the intel-wifi-firmwares.sh script downloads the firmware and
creates a package on the fly after the user has agreed to Intel's license.
Sorry that it needs to be this way - perhaps we could work out an
alternative license agreement with Intel (like other OSes have likely
done), but that comes with some effort. I tried to contact them on behalf
of Haiku, Inc. some years back and was basically ignored.
