Running 2007.0 with 2.6.23.12; when trying to extract my firmware for the bcm43xx driver into /lib/firmware I get this error:

Code:
audiobox.milhouse.org /lib # bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter.
This file has an unknown MD5sum d7bfff30ee982f26040f58a129fb2b6e.


A lot of posts on this but nobody seems to ever say why it happens. Any ideas?

I had the same problem and just found a solution:
download the file from a different location,
for example: http://joona.kuori.org/ubuntu-powerbook/wl_apsta.o
at least I could extract it,
we'll see whether it works
