This driver is also included inside of cdrom immage I use to start installation.
So I do not understand why it does not initiaze my wifi USB automaticaly?

(Also I forgot to include that I have this driver installed on my current machine
in the first email I included list of firmares - only this one was missed -
perhaps because it is in misc/main group in aptitude and not in kernel/non-free-firmware)
