Description Olaf Hering 2009-01-28 10:40:53 UTC
11.1 on powerbook g4

there is some airport card in the powerbook, which is operated by the b43 driver.
This driver works only if the firmware is present.
The package b43-fwcutter is automatically installed (via the modalias), the script /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware exists, and works.

but when yast configures the card it does not call the download script first. As a result, there is no firmware for the card.

Maybe there could be a check like

if ( driver == b43 | driver == b43legacy) && test ! -d /lib/firmware/b43 then
   /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware
fi
configure_wlan(b43)
