The difference is: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bcmwl-kernel-source http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-firmware-nonfree You see restricted VS multiverse. Probably when Canonical get some law suit, they are argue that multiverse stuff is done by the community so that they don't need to take the blame. The graphical driver helper tools created for Ubuntu has policy of pull stuff in main or restricted section IIRC. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I don't get it. So put it into restricted, multiverse or wherever you like. Where is the problem? In fact, you do _not_ even have to put it somewhere. Just provide a script that downloads it on demand from somewhere else. -- Michael -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
