[finnix] wireless firmware

Hi,

In finnix, I'm having trouble using my laptop's wireless card.
This is apparently due to the firmware not being included with finnix;
when I run "wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c<configfile>", it tells me:

[  207.414631] iwl3945: iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2
[  207.414631] iwl3945: Could not read microcode: -2

This isn't strange, considering that /lib/firmware is an empty directory.

I'd appreciate it if the next version of finnix could include wireless firmware
(like, for instance, systemrescuecd), since being able to access
wireless networks
would make finnix (even) more useful to me as a system rescue disc.

Greetings, Sander.
