Bug#1030741: firmware-brcm80211: Package firmware-brcm80211 not found in bookworm
Package: firmware-brcm80211
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I'm using bookworm as my desktop OS. I have the following wireless card.
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01)
This card is not working. It displays a message that "Firmware is missing".
60.592279] brcmsmac bcma0:1: firmware: failed to load brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw (-2)
[ 60.593680] firmware_class: See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for information about missing firmware
[ 60.594859] brcmsmac bcma0:1: firmware: failed to load brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw (-2)
i already have firmware-linux-free, firmware-iwlwifi, firmware-misc-nonfree installed on my system. None of these have the file brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw
I also tried installing "firmware-b43-installer". This also didn't install the required files. So, the wifi card is unusable on bookwork.
I found that the package firmware-brcm80211 has these files, but it is not present in bookworm repo
