Comment 9 for bug 184976

When installing b43-fwcutter a script is running that tries to download and install firmware.
(start debugging at /var/lib/dpkg/info/b43-fwcutter.postinst)
I (re-)installed the firmware but the problem is still the same.

New findings:
I see the access point (and some more) with good link
quality using
user@acer5220:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0_rename scanning
but with iwconfig I always see link quality is 0 and no working connection
is established. Independent of all the tricks I try the output in dmesg is always:
[ timestamp ] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0_rename: link is not ready.
