Hi folks

I am playing with the b43 driver and it appears there is firmware needed
to usre this card. This firmware is not included in the firmware.tgz
tarball.

I built b43-fwcutter and extracted the firmware from broadcom's binary
distribution.

root@leafbuilder:/home/mega/leaf/firmware/broadcom/fwdir# find b43
b43
b43/ucode16_sslpn.fw
b43/sslpn2bsinitvals19.fw
b43/lp0initvals13.fw
b43/ucode15.fw
.....

Now a few questions pop up

1) where is the firmware loaded at boot

I could not find any code in linuxrc to load firmware. Would it make
sense to package it into a .lrp file?

2) What is the correct path to include this firmware in the firmware tarball

The local path is b43, so I assume it could be either broadcom or
broadcom/b43

cheers

Erich
