Is b43/ or b43-open/ present in /lib/firmware or /run/initramfs/lib/firmware?
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" ]
Ah. b43-openfwwf is the only firmware package that isn't named "*-firmware". Adding it to the lorax install template should fix this.
