Won't the dvd1 iso install to your usb stick without the firmware for your wireless card? Then, let's say, if you've another usb stick with the firmware on it, you'd copy that firmware to the correct location /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw /usr/share/bug/firmware-brcm80211/presubj /usr/share/doc/firmware-brcm80211/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/firmware-brcm80211/copyright At which point you'd be able to install via a package manager the relevant package so that the package manager knows about it and updates it normally. > But then just to have a single 10MB firmware file is it really cool to > download the whole netinst image? > -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
