I've got a fresh install of Debian Wheezy on my laptop, and for security reasons I would like to not have any proprietary firmware running on this system. However, I require the iwlwifi non-free microcode for my wireless card ...Is there any way for me to use Xen or some other form of virtualization to install another copy of Debian in a virtual environment that does have the proprietary Intel binary firmware installed (and thus can use the wireless card), without having this firmware installed on the host environment?
