Comment 2 Will Woods 2012-05-02 14:34:23 UTC 
Is b43/ or b43-open/ present in /lib/firmware or /run/initramfs/lib/firmware?
Comment 3 John Reiser 2012-05-02 16:55:55 UTC 
No, neither b43/ nor b43-open/ are present on the installer media.

# mount -o ro,loop Fedora-17-Final.TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso /mnt/tmp1
# cd /mnt/tmp1/images/pxeboot
# xz -d <initrd.img  |  cpio --list  |  grep b43
160297 blocks
#   ### note empty output from grep: no lines containing "b43"


[I used the explicit xz|cpio because the most-handy lsinitrd was from Fedora 14, where lsinitrd does not understand xz.  On a newer system I could have used:
"lsinitrd initrd.img  |  grep b43" ]
Comment 4 Will Woods 2012-05-02 19:03:43 UTC 
Ah. b43-openfwwf is the only firmware package that isn't named "*-firmware".

Adding it to the lorax install template should fix this.
