Nice! Yes, my main concern was convenience. But it's not so important, I
have not even looked into which chipset I have in my ThinkPad. After I
moved, I have not yet set up a Wireless LAN again... so I didn't check out
your awesome work - but will do that ASAP. I can customize my build anyway,
so it doesn't really make a difference if I let the build extract a package
or if any particular driver is part of the tree or not.
Best regards,
