Control: tags -1 wontfix Control: close -1 Hi David,
Not sure if I got your report correcty; firmware-b43-installer merley downloads the firmware files, as the firmware files cannot be distributed IIUIC due to no redistributions rights granted by Broadcom. If my understanding is correct that you'd expect the firmware files to be present without downloading them, that would be undortunatly if my IIUIC is right, not fixable. (If I misunderstood, please feel free to reopen this bug and expand a bit, thanks) -- tobi On Thu, 13 Jul 2023 16:52:06 -0400 David Peacock <david.j.peac...@gmail.com> wrote: > Package: firmware-b43-installer > Severity: normal > X-Debbugs-Cc: david.j.peac...@gmail.com > > Dear Maintainer, > > Upon attempting to install Debian 12 using [0] on my early 2013 Retina > Macbook Pro, I discovered that the drivers needed to operate the > Broadcom wireless card included were not available.
