That's very interesting, all that seems to be missing is the huge 14mb or 
so tar that has the right file to rip.  The way I understand it, the 
firmware-b43-installer snags it from http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware
and untars it, then calls the b43-fwcutter as some kind of post-inst 
script?  It leaves little or no trace of itself after installation, 
only some docs and a lintian.

Oddly enough, there's a tiny 500K tar with some firmware in the same 
place, might be an old ver?

http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/b43fw_508.tar.gz

Anyway, there are two problems, how to get the firmware extracted, and how 
to get the installer to use it.
