We already confirmed that synaptic reinstall does indeed fetch the firmware. Only restricted-drivers manager seem broken. ( Another problem I had was that synaptic did not respect the proxy which I thought the installer put in apt.conf, so in fact I had to ctl-c and do it manually. Synaptic however prompted the user whether or not the firmware should be fetched, but then it tried to directly connect to openwrt:80, not via my proxy set in apt.conf, gnome-wide-settings, and synaptic proxy settings ) I just did a apt-get --reinstall install b43-fwcutter, and the firmware was not fetched and the user not prompted for it. Let's purge it first... OK, yes, now I am prompted, I choose yes, and it uses the proxy in apt.conf. I don't see any terminal output of the firmware extraction though... should it not show more? regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ -- [Hardy]b43-fwcutter install script fails to fetch firmware in first run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
