FOSSI Firmware for brcm80211

[pedrazaa]

where can I get the firmware for brcm80211?
Is there a FOSSI firmware or is the one provided by Broadcom the only one?

I installed from the compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 but ask for the firmware...

I added the brcm80211 driver which is a free (GPL) replacement for
broadcom-sta/wl. You'll need to install firmware images which, er, I haven't
uploaded yet, sorry. For now, you can get these from
<WebSVN - kernel - Rev 16433 - /dists/trunk/firmware-nonfree/brcm80211/brcm/>
and install them under /lib/firmware/brcm. They will be included in the
firmware-brcm80211 package shortly.

although, be careful... you break it, you buy it.
good luck with that...
