Will that work for madwifi (Wi-Fi cards based on the Atheros chipset)? On a closely related matter, could your infrastructure install bcm43xx-fwcutter automatically when a wireless card based on the coresponding Broadcom chipset is detected? Is there an easy to restart this process later, for example after moving an hard drive from a system to another? In that case, should we add such entry in the rescue-mode?
