wontfix: b43 (WLAN) firmware missing -> install_bcm43xx_firmware helps
Just for clarity: This is a "cannot fix" rather than a "won't fix". The copyright on the firmware files is held by Broadcom and they will not give permission to distribute them. The script /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware is the most we can do. It downloads driver files that Broadcom had to supply when they were caught in a GPL violation, then extracts the firmware from those files. There is a group in Italy that is working on open-source firmware for the Broadcom chips. Once that package is available, then this whole issue will be avoided. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
