Package: firmware-b43-installer
Version: 1:015-14
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After installing Debian Wheezy on my notebook, I tried to activate my wireless
network. As dmesg said, it was not running due to missing firmware. So I
installed the firmware-b43-installer package, which generated this output
(shortened):

b43-fwcutter (1:015-14) wird eingerichtet ...
firmware-b43-installer (1:015-14) wird eingerichtet ...
No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation

The firmware was not downloaded, even it said "starting normal installation".
On this notebook there are two Broadcom-Cards:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit
Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11)
04:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]
802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

The output of

# lspci -n | grep -o "14e4:[1234567890abcdef]\+"
14e4:167d
14e4:4318

seems to stop the postinst-script, ending up in doing nothing.
It would be of great use, if the package would do its job in such a hardware
environment.

I wrote this Bug-Report for a member of the "debianforum.de", to make good
software even better. You can find the corresponding thread here:
