Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bcm43xx-fwcutter
I am on Gutsy in Dell Inspiron 1501. I have been testing it. It has been great. It has improved hardware supports, such as bcm43xx firmware that can be installed via Restricted Drivers Manager. A couple of days ago, the kernel of Gutsy has been upgraded. My wireless lan of chipset is based on bcm43xx did not work. I found that the firmwares installed via the Restricted Drivers Manager was placed in the previous firmware directory only. It annoyed me because I had to connect my lap to the main hub 'with wire' again and to active the Restricted Drivers Manager again. I suggest that the Restricted Drivers Manager should install the firmwares(not drivers) into "/lib/firmware" NOT "/lib/firmware/`uname -r`". It will let me avoid to install the firmwares again or copy the firmware from the previous firmware directory.
