Dear Maintainer,
After installing Debian Wheezy on my notebook, I tried to activate my
wireless network. As dmesg said, it was not running due to missing
firmware. So I installed the firmware-b43-installer package, which
generated this output (shortened):
[...]
b43-fwcutter (1:015-14) wird eingerichtet ...
firmware-b43-installer (1:015-14) wird eingerichtet ...
No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
root@wheezy64:~#
The firmware was not downloaded, even it said "starting normal
installation".
On this notebook there are two Broadcom-Cards:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751M
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11)
04:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One
54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
The output of
# lspci -n | grep -o "14e4:[1234567890abcdef]\+"
14e4:167d
14e4:4318
seems to stop the postinst-script, ending up in doing nothing.
It would be of great use, if the package would do its job in such a
hardware environment.
I wrote this Bug-Report for a member of the "debianforum.de", to make
good software even better. You can find the corresponding thread here:
