Package: firmware-b43legacy-installer
Version: 4.178.10.4-4
Severity: normal

The postinst script (firmware-b43legacy-installer.postinst) fails when
multiple PCI devices are found with PCI ids starting with 14e4.  In my
case I have one card which uses b43legacy (14e4:4320) and a Broadcomm
ethernet adapter (14e4:4401). The variable "pci" (line 4 of the script
mentioned above) will have the following value:

14e4:4401
14e4:4320

This will cause the tests in the nested "if" (lines 6-8) to always be
true and the "Not supported card here" error to be always given. From
looking at the other install script (for b43) it seems to me that it
suffers from the same bug. To get around it I just ran b43-fwcutter
manually.
