Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate
***

   * What led up to the situation?
Upgrading to latest version from testing (1:019-6)
The .postinst script derives the vendor : product ID for Broadcom adapters
on this line:

pci=`lspci -n -d 14e4: | grep -o "14e4:[1234567890abcdef]\+" || true

The machine in question has an Ethernet adapter from Broadcom, so
the above test results in the two vendor IDs being reported with
the ethernet adapter listed first:


lspci -n -d 14e4: | grep -o "14e4:[1234567890abcdef]\+"
14e4:4401   <=== Ethernet adapter
14e4:4320

As a result the B43 wireless adapter is not found resulting in
the latest (broken for this adapter) firmware being downloaded
and installed.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Patch firmware-b43-installer.postinst to force classic firmware

b43-fwcutter still insists on installing the latest firmware (666 - sign of
the devil HA).
This package and b43-fwcutter are hopelessly broken on my previously
working system.
The last good version was 1:09-5, but that .deb is not available in any
repository. Please help.
