Bug#1041004: firmware-b43-installer: Drivers in this package are not available in debian-12.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso at time of writing.
Package: firmware-b43-installer
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: david.j.peacock@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
Upon attempting to install Debian 12 using [0] on my early 2013 Retina
Macbook Pro, I discovered that the drivers needed to operate the
Broadcom wireless card included were not available. It was my
understanding that these drivers should be included in the newly
established non-free-firmware repository.
I'm raising this bug report purely to bring this to attention in hope
that it's possible to add these drivers to the Bookworm netinst image to
avoid having to deal with this when installing on various models of
Macbook Pro.
Thank you
David
