Attached is a patch to make firmware-b43legacy-installer a dummy package. The patch also includes and improves all the other patches I've listed.
The only problem I've found is due to the debconf value b43-fwcutter /install-unconditional and if this is true it now installs both lots of firmware. I can't really get my head around why b4-fwcutter sets this value, but there is no harm in both lots of firmware being present, and indeed it is what b43-fwcutter used to do in lucid days I believe. The readme file also says "It is recommended that you extract firmware for both b43 and b43legacy in order to support both types of cards on your system." so I'm not sure why we test for the type of firmware needed. ** Patch added: "combine.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/1490212/+attachment/4456380/+files/combine.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1490212 Title: "Modaliases" field missing from debian control file Status in b43-fwcutter package in Ubuntu: New Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The b43 module is not listed as an option by the "additional drivers" section of the software-properties-gtk utility. This takes its information from the ubuntu-drivers-common package and a bug has been reported against that package (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers- common/+bug/1186779 ). However, if I'm reading things correctly, the firmware-b43-installer package could solve this by providing a modaliases field in the debian control file. For example, the bcmwl-kernel-source package has the line: Modaliases: wl(pci:v000014E4d*sv*sd*bc02sc80i*) This would be scanned by the ubuntu-drivers-common package and consequently appear in software-properties-gtk.
