I'll check SVN. There's actually a v4 big-endian firmware in the fwcutter list in SVN, but no URL to fetch it from... It comes from the AppleAirPortBrcm4311 driver. I've no idea where that update comes from, I found a copy on the Internet somewhere. (I think someone posted the file to a message board looking for help with it...) I'm not sure, would it be be bad for me to just stick a copy of it up on a website? If so, I can prolly dig up the place I got it from (I'm sure I bookmarked it at the time) and people can choose their own level of comfort. I have to say it's not clear from the documentation that BE machines like PPC need to use a BE firmware... (If that's not the case, it's not clear that it's not the case either, it just doesn't say either way. ^_^) In fact, given that it's a BE firmware update for Intel-based Macs' bcm cards, I presume the endianess of the firmware doesn't matter? -- Paul Hampson Paul.Hampson@Pobox.com
