Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01) without proprietary firmware



Hi there!

I'm trying to configure wlan on my laptop. I've found several guides
on the topic, but all of them require to install non-free software.
[1, 2] I'm looking for a way to make it work without proprietary
software. Someone told me that it's possible with OpenFWWF. [3] But I
have no experience in patching. Could you help me with this? What
should I do?

I'm using gNewSense (it's a Debian-based distro) with the latest
Linux-libre kernel (3.2.4).
(I'll send a BCC to the gnewsense-users list too.)
