Feature changed by: Stefan Behlert (sbehlert) Feature #305768, revision 9 Title: Use open source firmware for b43 - openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Stephan Kulow (coolo) - reject date: 2009-03-04 11:57:26 - reject reason: I see desirable features as waste of (my) time. Either - it's easy to package, then I don't see a reason why it isn't done yet - or it's not. And if it's hard to package, a desirable feature won't - make it fly. + openSUSE-11.2: Duplicate of #306619 Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Description: Currently openSUSE does not ship the firmware for broadcom devices due to legal issues. Only a script /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware is provided which is not easy to find for new users. However an open source firmware for these devices are available now at [1] and would allow to be shipped with openSUSE. Of course this firmware needs some testing but it would be quite nice to not depend anymore on the proprietary firmware.
