A patch for the later kernels who can use the free (2.6.28 looks like
it can) could be to just replace this with something nicer telling the
user how to install the OpenFWWF firmware.

 text = "You must install the openfwwf firmware, instructions can be
 found at NiceGnewsenseWikiPage\n";
We don't currently have such a page :(


I could write one up, but not sure were in the wiki to put it :(

How about you add a new subsection under Drivers to the wireless documentation [1]. Or, if it's a long explanation, create a new page (e.g. http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Documentation/Openfwwf) and link to it from the wireless page.
