This bug is very annoying because it's an absurd to require a network connection to install a network driver. If you don't have another network interface then you're stuck and have to use another computer or another operating system. The b43-fwcutter downloads 2 files from openwrt.org: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 and http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o Maybe the guys from openwrt.org could be asked if redistribution of this files is possible. If not, then maybe Canonical could ask Broadcom for permission to redistribute these files.
