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
