bcm43xx-fwcutter FILE extracts the firmware from a source FILE to .
bcm43xx-fwcutter -i FILE identify the driver file. Print information, but
don't extract.
bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /tmp FILE extract and write firmware to /tmp.
bcm43xx-fwcutter -l prints a list of supported driver source files.
After extraction, run make installfw which will copy bcm43xx_*.fw to
FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR (which defaults to /lib/firmware) for
usage by the bcm43xx driver. An alternative way is using the -w option.
Different distributions use different target directories for the firmware
files. If the driver complains about missing firmware files look for the
correct directory. For some distributions you have to use
/lib/hotplug/firmware or /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware for FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR,
but other directories are also possible.
Extraction doesn't depend on the system you're using. You can even
extract firmware on ppc from a mips driver. Cross-extraction is allowed.
Where can I find some driver source files?
