Bug#435088: linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64: module "bcm43xx" cannot load firmware any more
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64
Version: linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64
Severity: normal
-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-k7
Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15)
Dear maintainers,
after upgrading to the last kernel-version (from 2.6.17-1-amd64-k8 to 2.6.17-2-amd64)
it is no more possible , to activate the broadcom wirelesscard "AeroOne54g" which is
normally the kernel-driver "bcm43xx". The module itself can be loaded, but refuses
to load the firmware "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw".
I installed firmware new, with no success. The firmware is installed below /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware,
and additionally /lib/firmware (as it does by bcm43xx-fwcutter)
Please let me know, if you need more information.
Hint: In the former kernel it worked fine and there was nothing else changed !
