Pr-1.3

Closed source package bt-firmware

As name suggest, this is bluetooth firmware. (BCM2048 is the name of the Bluetooth chip from Broadcom.)

Default installed version: bt-firmware: Installed: 0.21-rc3+0m5

Provides files: /lib/firmware/bcmfw.bin

No package depends on it.

If removed (not suggested) *Not critical: device will still start *Can't turn bluetooth ON (as expected). *'About'-box will not show bluetooth address (cat /sys/devices/platform/hci_h4p/bdaddr is still showing it). (*FM-radio transmitting works. Radio is on the same chip, but it isn't using this firmware-file)

Alternatives: MeeGo has package (closed, but redistributable?) 'bcm-bt-firmware' with description Firmware image for the BCM bluetooth chip. Firmware image is needed to boot up bluetooth chip that is found in Nokia Internet Tablets. Version: 0.21rc3
