There are good sound reasons for having a firmware tree, the fact tg3 is
a bit of dinosaur in this area doesn't make it wrong.


And bnx2, and bnx2x, and e100's ucode (hope David caught that one!).

It isn't just tg3.

Ah bnx2 - it may be "fixed" now, but trying to install Debian Lenny on a system with "core" bnx2 driven interfaces has been "fun" for a while now thanks to the firmware being exiled.
