[Bug 1219368] Re: 14e4:4320 Airport Extreme (Broadcom BCM4306) not working on iMac G5

 

After installing bw-fwcutter, the system complains that the correct
firmware cannot be installed.

After installing firmware-b43-installer, I get the following:

With the development kernel from above, the link just never becomes
ready.

The wireless driver did work before this bug was originally opened.
