273	Port b43-fwcutter	mmadia	scottmc	"In Colin's commit [http://dev.haiku-os.org/changeset/34435/haiku r34435], he provided instructions for installing the firmware for the  broadcom43xx wifi driver.  According to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#firmware_installation , the b43-cutter must be used by the end user for preparing the hardware's firmware. eg, the firmware cannot be prepped in advanced and provided as a simple unzip-to-install.

b43-fwcutter: http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2 

The source seems to require <byteswap.h>, which is not yet provided as a public header.  There are a few [http://haiku.it.su.se:8180/source/search?q=&defs=&refs=&path=byteswap.h&hist= byteswap.h inside Haiku's source tree].

With this binary, I should be able to create an OptionalPackage & installer script that can be run automatically at first boot.
