Correct. It's the same dilemma you have in Mandriva. You either need a
cable attached to use the free edition or you have to use the "ONE
Edition" and install all the needed software later (ex:
system-config-printer, which is not on the ONE cds). If you want to
have a free distribution there's no way around this as long as there
is the need for non-free firmware to use certain hardware.
A possible solution for people with such a setup could be a non-free
"driver cd ISO" which they could include in the installation process.
