Package: firmware-b43-installer
Version: 4.150.10.5-4
Severity: important

Hello,

The binary blobs that the package downloads needs to be updated to fetch 
from http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3_mipsel.tar.

The program that the extracts the firmware blobs needs to updated to build from
http://bues.ch/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-015.tar.bz2

I can verify that doing so results in a reworking wifi interface. 
A semirelated report would be http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=677615


I had filed it against the wrong package, but it describes that problems i encountered when using this package from the backports archive.

Regards,
Harish
