We should include this http://www.ing.unibs.it/openfwwf/ reverse engineered firmware in our linux-libre kernel ASAP.

The code to backport is at http://www.linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/LATEST-2.6.30.N/deblob-2.6.30 (search for "B43")

Latest trisquel 2.6.28 image includes the LATEST-2.6.30.N needed code, and the openfwwf package was added in the dwyn repo.

We need someone with a b43 card to test it.
