Public bug reported:
Kubuntu Hardy KDE4
For wireless cards that need proprietary firmware, Jockey, the new,
improved version of the Restricted Drivers Manager, will install the
(open source) driver, display a pop-up that proprietary firmware will be
needed and (at least for Broadcom cards) download b43-fw-cutter. Then
the user is on his own to find out what to do next.
On a terminal one can regularly see the message appear that the firmware
for the card is missing and that one should go to www.linuxwireless.org
(IIRC) and download the firmware from there. Now why does this message
not pop up after installing fw-cutter instead of being hidden in a
terminal?
So this is what jockey should do:
1) Display message that propriatary firmware is needed. - DONE
2) Download fw-cutter- -DONE
3) Display message where firmware can be downloaded and instructions on what to
do afterwards. - TODO
** Affects: jockey (Ubuntu)
