Bug#580098: firmware-b43-lpphy-installer postinst script fails when a Broadcom Ethernet device is also here



Package: firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
Version: 4.174.64.19-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


When installing firmware-b43-lpphy-installer from Squeeze on my laptop, dpkg fails to install it because its postinst script fails :

Échec de l'installation d'un paquet. Tentative de réparation : 
Paramétrage de firmware-b43-lpphy-installer (4.174.64.19-3) ...
Not supported card here (PCI id 14e4:4315
14e4:1693)!

The problem comes from my laptop having 2 broadcom network PCI interfaces, one wifi (LP-PHY, targeted for this package) and also an Ethernet card :

$ lspci|grep -i broad
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
85:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)

$ lspci -n|grep 14e4:
02:00.0 0280: 14e4:4315 (rev 01)
85:00.0 0200: 14e4:1693 (rev 02)

These two PCI ids give the error. I propose a simple patch to workaround this, it works on my system.

  Fred.
