You install a package b43-firmware, it detects your hardware in the preinst script and downloads and installs the firmware accordingly. If the detection fails, it should prompt whether to download the firmware anyway and then abort the installation or continue the installation, depending on the user choice. But maybe that's just me.

I'd be happy if you have convincing arguments why it should be handled differently. There is no reason why users shouldn't be able to use b43-fwcutter on systems that do not have the hardware in question installed. The obvious use case is to be able to extract the firmware for another system that does not have a working internet connection in order to copy it via a thumbdrive. I find the distinction into b43-fwcutter and the -installer packages to be clear and correct. One problem with the b43-fwcutter package is its description in that it states: --- snip --- Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware fwcutter is a tool which can extract firmware from various source files. It's written for BCM43xx driver files. It grabs firmware for BCM43xx from website and install it. --- snip --- ^^ Which should be corrected. -- Wolodja deb...@babilen5.org 4096R/CAF14EFC 081C B7CD FF04 2BA9 94EA 36B2 8B7F 7D30 CAF1 4EFC signature.asc Description: Digital signature
