I'm not sure I agree here. For other devices, we have a separate
option for each device. In addition, when you have a given WiFi device
in a system, you most likely only have this one, so the need for
installing one specific firmware is kind of the normal situationo.

If you have a WiFi/BT combo chip, it's pretty likely that you will want
to install both the WiFi and BT firmwares, so having a single option
for both doesn't look that crazy.
