Users of Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) and later releases
Some drivers included in the Linux kernel used to contain non-free firmware blobs. Starting with the Squeeze release, this firmware has been moved to separate packages in the non-free section of the archive, such as firmware-linux. If such packages are installed, the firmware will be loaded automatically when required.
