Anthony Towns already pointed out that this is an old issue which we
thought was dealt with. <http://lwn.net/Articles/3467/>

Anthony was not very clear with his output and I have to admit that I
was confused by it. In his weblog he later stated that this is not a
release-critical issue for the upcoming sarge release. Hence, I
wonder if it would really make sense to change the kernel on Knoppix
as well, and not "trust" Debian's separation of non-free, even if the
kernel is problematic at least.
