The 'firmware' directory is intended to go away. It only contains the old firmware which used to be built-in in hex arrays in the source code, but should never have been. We have a separate 'linux-firmware' repository, in which we're collecting new firmwares on top of the stuff we extracted from the kernel source. That's where we should add the b43 firmware. -- dwmw2
