Reporter: leppy232 | Owner: nobody
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Unscheduled
Component: - General | Version: R1/beta2
Keywords: wireless, wifi, bcm43xx, broadcom | Blocked By:
Blocking: | Platform: x86
-----------------------------------------------+--------------------------
System info: real hardware (Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop) with BCM4318 card,
running R1/beta2 x86_gcc2 (hrev54154+111)
Upon downloading the BCM43xx firmwares using the script provided at
https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/workshop-wlan.html, I copied
the files over to my home folder and extracted the archive to the /root
folder, as instructed. After running the install-wifi-firmwares.sh script,
I recieved the following output:
{{{

I verified that the firmwares were indeed extracting to the correct place,
but they were not being recognized by the script. After manual
installation of a wireless firmware hpkg with the firmwares, I can verify
that the card works with Haiku.
