Indeed, it has nothing to do with the RPi itself, but with the WiFi chip. And other boards, such as http://www.armadeus.org/wiki/index.php?title=OPOS6UL, use a WiFi chip that need the same firmware. See http://www.armadeus.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bluetooth#OPOS6UL where they tell to use exactly that BCM43430A1.hcd firmware. So perhaps the package should be bcrm-43430-firmware or something along those lines. > +RPI_BT_FIRMWARE_VERSION = a439f892bf549ddfefa9ba7ad1999cc515f233bf > +RPI_BT_FIRMWARE_SITE = https://aur.archlinux.org/pi-bluetooth.git Is there a better upstream than this? I found https://github.com/varigit/bcm_4343w_fw but I'm not sure it really qualifies as "better".
