nic-firmware package not included on the netboot image

Bug Description

The firmware for the ipw2100 module fails to load on a net boot installation.

ipw2100: eth0: Firmware 'ipw2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed

Is this as simple as just missing the nic-firmware udeb, which seems to have the
relevant firmware files.

or perhaps this wasn't included due to space considerations?
