I believe most of the patches are obsolete, the only thing that should remain is the part where you try to generate a separate .deb. Are we actually allowed to build a .deb and distribute the firmware directly in a .deb? I haven't checked but I guess that it's "no", otherwise we would likely ship the firmware ourselves in non-free... I saw you contributed regularly to the package. What about getting a salsa account and taking over package maintenance? In any case, an update on this bug would be appreciated.

Package: firmware-b43-installer
Version: 1:019-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
I've written a patch to install the newest firmware which has been
supported by b43-fwcutter since version 1:018 (released in 2013) and
attached the patch to this email. b43-fwcutter 1:019-2 in jessie already
supported installing this firmware offline.
Upstream referred me to Debian [1] for this and confirmed that 784.2 is
the latest version of firmware available [2].
The patch I attached also corrects the description of the firmware
version. The description string listed the old postinst referred to the wl
driver version.
I changed the depends for those upgrading as b43-fwcutter before 018 will
not support this newer firmware. Though Debian may not need this,
downstream distributions might.
Two other issues I may later file/append to bugs on:
1) The listed Debian Package Source Repository (Browseable)[3] only shows
1:018 whereas 1:019 is in the package tracking system.
2) Upstream now lists more supported devices [4] than what the postinst has.
Thanks,
Drew Daniels

Inside firmware-b43-installer's postinst script it tests for Broadcom hardware using the line: pci=`lspci -n | grep -o "14e4:[1234567890abcdef]\+"` || true This though requires a system that has PCI *somewhere* on it and the Broadcom chip to be attached to that. The device I'm working with is a Broadcom 4718, where the 802.11n core is I suspect a variant of the Broadcom 4329. Values of interest from /sys/devices/ssb0:0 vendor 0x04bf coreid 0x0812 name IEEE 802.11 revision 17 uevent MODALIAS=ssb:v04BFid0812rev11 Looks like the version of the b43 driver in the Linux kernel I'm working with lacks support, but I suspect a later version will support the 802.11 core.
