Well, talk in this bug as of now is about h2200 and adding "wifi" feature to
its MACHINE_FEATURES.

But there must be better arguments than "it wold be nice to have it by
default", that's very non-scalable approach - we'd never agree what should go
there and/or never stop with that. For example, I really think that having MP3
player in x11-image is more priority than WPA ;-). Having 200-300KB more with
only only (32-21) free MBs can really make difference, and of course we all
know that most people won't bother to clean up such eerie things as kernel
modules, installed by default.

All in all, currently, it's not Angstrom way to add more stuff than it is
called for by formal machine features. The only thing I can do is to cast this
to an enhancement request, and let's see what people say ;-).
