Comment:

 Yes, I know how OpenWRT does it; it does it the same way that the iPAQ
 does, using the tools we (the iPAQ handhelds project) developed on the
 iPAQ.

 To date, Blizzard had been strongly against exposing packaging at all,
 particularly in the base system image.  And given RPM's behavior with lots
 of packages, I have (some limited) sympathy to this position.

 I've been anticipating the need; Blizzard and I will continue this
 argument.  We do need to have a real solution here, one way or the other.

 For now, Andres, I think adding the two base modules makes lots of sense
 while we sort out the "what to do about tons of dongles" problem.  At
 least then it would be much easier to compile and manually add one
 dongle's driver to an otherwise unmodified base system.
