Title:
  "Modaliases" field missing from debian control file

Status in b43-fwcutter package in Ubuntu:
  Expired
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The b43 module is not listed as an option by the "additional drivers"
  section of the software-properties-gtk utility.  This takes its
  information from the ubuntu-drivers-common package and a bug has been
  reported against that package
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-
  common/+bug/1186779 ).

  However, if I'm reading things correctly, the firmware-b43-installer
  package could solve this by providing a modaliases field in the debian
  control file.  For example, the bcmwl-kernel-source package has the
  line:

  Modaliases: wl(pci:v000014E4d*sv*sd*bc02sc80i*)

  This would be scanned by the ubuntu-drivers-common package and
  consequently appear in software-properties-gtk.
