Title:
  firmware-b43-installer fails to use proxy server

Status in “b43-fwcutter” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: b43-fwcutter

  On our company network we need to use a proxy server (also for dns
  requests). The firmware-b43-installer seems to not to use the
  environment proxy setting (http_proxy) and fails:

  Problem

  user@host:~$sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer 
  ...
  Setting up firmware-b43-installer (4.150.10.5-4) ...
  --2010-12-01 11:21:55--  http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
  Resolving mirror2.openwrt.org... failed: Name or service not known.
  wget: unable to resolve host address `mirror2.openwrt.org'
  dpkg: error processing firmware-b43-installer (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   firmware-b43-installer
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  Download should work

  A wget on that url actually works.
  user@host:~$wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2

  Workaround

  set up proxychains and call apt-get like this:
  user@host:~$sudo proxychains apt-get install firmware-b43-installer 

  Extra info

  Don't think this is related but we use cntlm runing on localhost to
  connect/authenticate to the company proxy.
