 I got that tar ball and I think i am doing the right thing, but
something is not going well:

$ _IFL="broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2"

$ ls -l "${_IFL}"
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13514651 Aug 13  2011 broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2

$ file --brief "${_IFL}"
bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k

$ sha256sum --binary "${_IFL}"
