- 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?
- Pattern not found (press RETURN)
