I guess that this package should be removed from repo.

http://lists.linux-wlan.com/pipermail/linux-wlan-announce/2009-August/000102.html

"With prism2_usb in the mainline kernel for a couple of releases now, the
mainline kernel now supports all prism2 devices. The linux-wlan-ng
project is completely obseleted, and there will be no further
development.

The linux-wlan-ng source code (tarballs and svn/git) will remain
available for the forseeable future, but the mailing lists are being
shut down as soon as this message goes out, and future attempts to send
mail to them will bounce.

The server housing the mailing list archives is set to be retired in the
medium term, but we will try to ensure they remain online after that.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

ok seems we don't need any firmware specific files anymore then.

any decision about removing this? The obsolete wlan-ng26-utils is still on [core]
