2007-02-19 12:53:59 magilus bcm43xx-fwcutter: statusexplanation In fact, this is no bug in bcm43xx-fwcutter and support has not been dropped for older cards. The new bcm43xx driver, which went to Feisty, requires a 4.x firmware version. In order to get one, download the latest bcm43xx-fwcutter from http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4547 and look at the README. At the bottom, there is a link to a 4.x firmware. Get it and compile the bcm43xx-fwcutter version that you just got (the one in Ubuntu is too old) running make. Then extract the firmware via ./bcm43xx-fwcutter FWFILE and copy the .fw files to /lib/firmware. Reload the bcm43xx module (sudo rmmod bcm43xx && sudo modprobe bcm43xx) and everything should work fine then. I'll try to get an exception in order to make the recent fwcutter version available in Feisty.

Rejecting the bcm43xx-fwcutter task, as it (WLAN broken) is no bug in bcm43xx-fwcutter. For a newer release which can extract v4 firmwares, see bug 84917.
