   |  I found the package in pkgsrc-wip, but I didn't test.
 
 It crossed my mind that it might be there, but I don't have an up to
 date copy of the WIP packages, so I didn't look (in any case it wouldn't
 be where the doc says to look).
 
 It is also a little hard to imagine why a firmware installing package
 needs to be in WIP - it isn't as if it is something that we might not be
 really sure we want in pkgsrc, it is kind of essential, nor is making
 the package all that hard (its just taking one of the existing ones and
 altering a few names, right?) so it shouldn't be that the package is
 really still work in progress.   The driver might be (or have been when
 all this happened) but the firmware isn't.
 
 i.e.; please move the pkg to sysutils...
