Package: firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
Version: 1:015-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Install after going from testing to unstable. upgrade package from testing
1:015-1 to unstable 1:015-2
New package removed /lib/firmware/b43/ but failed to install new firmware.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Ineffective: reinstall using apt-get, aptitude, synaptic.
Effective:
1. export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
2. wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
3. tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
4. sudo b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" broadcom-
wl-4.178.10.4/linux/wl_apsta.o
* What was the outcome of this action?
Downloaded broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 and extracted firmware to
/lib/firmware/b43
rebooted and card for wifi worked.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Expected package firmware-b43-lpphy-installer to automatically download and
extract firmware but it did not.
There may be a problem with the shell script firmware-b43-lpphy-
installer.postinst in the source file.Version 1:015-1 works but not 1:015-2.
