Feature changed by: Martin Seidler (pistazienfresser) Feature #305768, revision 10 Title: Use open source firmware for b43 openSUSE-11.2: Duplicate of #306619 + Master status: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger <aj@novell.com> + reject date: 2010-11-15 09:46:54 + reject reason: Not done in time for openSUSE 11.2. Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Product Manager: (Novell) Project Manager: (Novell) Technical Contact: (Novell) Technical Contact: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Partner organization: openSUSE.org 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.
