Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter.
i've done the above a number of times, without fail. are you sure the
tarball file itself is uncorrupted?
Since it's the opinion of your bcm43xx-fwcutter that the file is bad, I
wonder if it is to do with which version of that you are running?
I tried a 'yum upgrade bcm43xx-fwcutter' but got a "nothing to do" response. Anyone know if there is a particular version tied to the 4 version of bcm43xx?
You need bcm43xx-fwcutter-006, which is not currently in FC6. You can
probably use the bcm43xx-fwcutter-006-1.fc7 package, YMMV.
I've asked the bcm43xx-fwcutter package owner to upgrade the package
in FC6...
Great! Thanks! How long do you expect it to take? Days? Weeks? (I've
been running my old kernel for a couple of weeks now, so I'm not exactly
turning blue...)
