Description

This package is being installed on machines that don't have the Broadcom wireless hardware, and is sometimes broken by its need to download firmware from a third-party site. We should keep it in the apt repository but not install it by default.

  • summary changed from Make bcm43xx-fwcutter an optional package to Move bcm43xx-fwcutter and zd1211-firmware to laptop task

Upgraded a workstation today and noticed the zd1211-firmware package is in the base task - it should be moved to the laptop task too.

Not installing them by default, because you need internet access to download the firmware anyway, so better simply put the in the online repository.
