That's a gross mischaracterization on your part, and I quite resent it. There are valid reasons for some of those. If it is now necessary to make Mr. Jansa like the comments on the ixp4xx firmware recipe in order to keep the recipe in OE, I will update those. But I cannot make it so that Intel will not require click-throughs in order to download the firmware files. -Mike (mwester)
