Thanks Chase.  It sounds like support on the open source has some
blockers, so for this bug report let's focus on the nwfermi driver.

@djp, thanks for posting the .debs.  It appears this contains a GPL'd
kernel driver installable via dkms, and a closed binary nwfermi_daemon
which is invoked using udev.  Can you specify what the distribution
terms are for nwfermi_daemon?  Is it permissible for us to package and
ship it in Ubuntu as a closed source driver?

Because this driver does not depend on anything particular on the X
side, I guess xserver-xorg-input-evdev is not the best component for it
to be filed against, but I'm not certain of what package would be better
(linux?) so will leave it here for now.
