Comment 19 for bug 29566

To whom it may concern,
I do not know who you people got my email name and email from, but I did not
request all of this information you are sending. I am requesting that you
remove me from your email listings as I do not have "Ubantu" installed on my
computer.

Subject: [Bug 29566] Re: Missing firmware for bcm43xx/b43 driver during
install

** Description changed:

+ There are instructions at
+ http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Ubuntu.2FDebian for how
+ to install this firmware.
+
  On AMD64 using daily dapper 20050124.

  During the install the installer offers to configure the bcm43xx device
  on my laptop, but the search for wireless networks fails to find any
  networks. The message simply says no networks could be found, but
  investigation shows that the firmware for the device could not be
  loaded, because it is not available.

  Ideally the firmware should be included, but that is probably imposable
  because of licensing so the bcm43xx device should probably not be listed
  as a usable network device during the install. Just my $.02
