Another point: a "Suggests:" would be OK if these were just missing
features, but here, the machine is completely unusable without network
access. The Linux virtual consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F<1-6>) do not even work.

I'm also wondering why it is necessary to have a 100 MB firmware just
to get a basic display. In the past (or with the Nvidia proprietary
drivers?), this was not the case. But this is another issue.
