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?
