that's what I thought as well...until I saw Jerome reply earlier
mentionning ipw2200.    I know by experience that this particular driver
is not in linux-restricted-modules since I use it for wireless on this
laptop with restricted disabled. 

So maybe my kernel is less free that I thought it was, even by removing
restricted from my sources.list...
