For ipw2100, this misses the point; ISTR we are shipping
several other
firmware images in Fedora without source.
The ipw2100 license doesn't allow free redistribution (the recipient
must explicitly agree to the license); you can't just burn a CD including
that firmware and give it to someone.
I don't know whether you condider that "free as in beer", but
IMHO sacrificing redistributability of FC for the firmware is just
not worth it, all other factors aside.
