Bug Description

I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my iBook G4 and jockey did not recognized the wiki adapter as one that needs external firmware.

Here is the output of lspci
0001:10:12.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

After manually installing fwcutter everything was fine.

Durring the fwcutter install, it ask me if I want to autoamticaly download the firmware. I said yes and the install process was smooth without any further user intervention.

This is a regresion, as in the past I used Ubuntu 8.04 and the wifi adapter was recognized as needing proprietary drivers.
