updating firmware-b43-installer

[galaxysurfer]

Hi,

I keep getting call to update this dpkg. The problem is that the host server won't connect. When it tries to connect to http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/br ... 38.tar.bz2 it times out. Is there a way to temp disable this call or to fix the link since hosting link is down.

I just checked that link and it works.

If you don't have any Broadcom networking hardware show in your QSI, just remove the package. We include it by default to cover that hardware.

Maybe the OP can't access that download because the US blocked it because of their location? Not that I'm saying that's stupid, as if someone could get incredible security secrets from a firmware download that they couldn't also get from open source or through TOR or a proxy....but that's stooooooooopid.

I'm in Canada. So I just did a location switcheroo with my vpn & problem solved. Should have figured it might be blocked due to the current times.

Oh, Canada! 'Merika's newest foe...alla time pretending to be so polite.
