Comment 1 for bug 218922

You can also use b43-fwcutter to extract the firmware from a MacOS X CD/installation, or a Windows driver CD that comes with the hardware. But it remains a wizardry tasks, and a chicken-egg-problem if your only way to get online is the Wifi.

(Broadcom should just allow us to redistribute that silly firmware...)

I'll open a jockey task for it again. We could at least add a check for being online, or some additional instructions.
