Comment:
Currently not accepting bugs for this driver, since we aren't even sure it will be shipped with dapper.

Your problem is an easy one though. You just need to get the firmware and put it in the right place (/lib/firmware). Go to the berlios site and get the fwcutter program. You'll need to have (or download) the bcm5.dll from the windows driver.
