like broadcom-wl drivers that i actually maintain on packman... (other distro like ubuntu already provides them.. i can't understand why we cannot.

Because distributing closed source kernel drivers is something that Novell has stated it will not do.

Not to mention the legal aspects of the whole thing...

But something is preparing, afaik;-) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554823

Yes, but b43-fwcutter is open source, it supports an open-source driver, and it gets the copyrighted material from public Web sources. I see no legal or open-source ramifications with having the firmware installation script being run during installation if a Broadcom device is detected. Of course, I am not a lawyer.
