Bugzilla – Bug 470127
yast network does not run install_bcm43xx_firmware before configuring b43 wireless
Last modified: 2009-11-11 17:20:13 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)
