Well, the latest released version (fwcutter-005) contains a huge list of ... v3 URLs :-) Only 2 v4 in there. I'll check SVN. There's actually a v4 big-endian firmware in the fwcutter list in SVN, but no URL to fetch it from... It comes from the AppleAirPortBrcm4311 driver. I've no idea where that update comes from, I found a copy on the Internet somewhere. (I think someone posted the file to a message board looking for help with it...) I'm not sure, would it be be bad for me to just stick a copy of it up on a website? If so, I can prolly dig up the place I got it from (I'm sure I bookmarked it at the time) and people can choose their own level of comfort. I have to say it's not clear from the documentation that BE machines like PPC need to use a BE firmware... (If that's not the case, it's not clear that it's not the case either, it just doesn't say either way. ^_^) In fact, given that it's a BE firmware update for Intel-based Macs' bcm cards, I presume the endianess of the firmware doesn't matter? -- Paul Hampson [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Yeah, looks like Martin forgot to put the URLs in the the readme while he put them into commit messages... The last update for README was quite some time ago. I think that file is a bad way to transport that kind of information. So I'm afraid a lot of links are really out of date now. A better way is probably an open wiki (berlios?). Volunteers and other ideas are always welcome. The comments in the commit messages are more a kind of protocol and not the best link on earth. And if you wait some days the number of mirrors for the latest driver will explode. It would be bad to write the first available link into the README. A download link should be a direct link, a small package, easy to extract and so on. But I'm really not interested in doing that job of a hunter for the perfect download link and try to keep that link up to date. I think it's more important to write support for more driver files instead of doing that surrounding stuff for a few files in a perfect way. Google isn't that complicated these days and it's more up to date than our README.
