[solved] networkboot fails "bcm43xx_microcode4.fw"

[chb]

Hi all

while booting my laptop (MD) via network i get the following error:

Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode4.fw" not available or load failed.

this just after the MD monitoring service mdadm had been startet.

this are the last entries of syslog on the core:

i asume this is the driver for my networkcard (bcm4306).

any ideas or tips where to start?

thanks

that wireless network card is a bitch to get going. if you go to the Ubuntu forums they have a fix which I assume will work for linuxmce.

Thanks for the hint. Of course... I had to do the same thing when I installed kubuntu on my laptop. sometimes ...
