When it comes to all these firmware to different wlan cards, would it be
possible to have them included and ready in Haiku?


Mmh, I guess you are referring to license issues. Currently I looked into Intel firmware licenses only, which are demanding that a user reads the license BEFORE using the corrresponding driver. I still need to look into the broadcom firmware license, and possibly other licenses, too. For now I'm focusing on getting all the wlan driver compiling and linking (and so in theory working). To make testing on real hardware easier by providing a convinient way for installing the firmware is posponed till I finished this stage. But if someone is willing on reading thoses licenses and come up with a valid installation solution I'm all for it.
