Package: firmware-b43-installer
Version: 1:015-14
Severity: important

Installation of firmware-b43-installer_015-14_all reports that the
device with PCI
id 14e4:4331 (Broadcom BCM4331) is unsupported and aborts:

  # dpkg -i firmware-b43-installer_015-14_all.deb
  ...
  Setting up firmware-b43-installer (1:015-14) ...
  No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
  Unsupported device(s) found: PCI id 14e4:4331
  Aborting.

However, according to
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/#Supported_devices
devices with PCI ID 14e4:4331 are supported.

The following trivial change to the postinst script fixes the problem:

With this change the firmware is correctly installed on my machine and
wireless is working.
