[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] b43-firmware: new package

Thomas Petazzoni thomas.petazzoni at free-electrons.com
Thu Dec 6 22:50:00 UTC 2012


This package allows to download the Broadcom Wifi drivers, extract the
firmware from them, and install them in /lib/firmware, so that they
can be used by the open-source kernel driver b43.
