What would be the point of such split?

I have split it by buses, because currently having full support for
PCMCIA devices on my Jornada 720, I have to install 13MB of PCI
firmwares and 8.5MB of USB firmwares, which I will never use (because
I have neither PCI nor USB bus on it) just to have available the 200kB
of PCMCIA firmwares.

Most of the firmwares in the repository are for removable devices - we
(as the OE/distrubution maintainers) are by definition not able to
know whose products will the user plug in.

bye,
Filip Zyzniewski
