Comment 1 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-02-27 12:29:41 UTC
It seems that this package is superseeded by net-wireless/b43-fwcutter. Please take actions here.
Comment 2 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2016-12-03 20:22:32 UTC
any progress?
Comment 3 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2017-07-04 07:02:55 UTC
The HOMEPAGE is still invalid. 

Is there a better URL than https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/No_homepage? 

HOMEPAGE="http://bcm43xx.berlios.de"
#SRC_URI="mirror://berlios/bcm43xx/${P}.tar.bz2"
SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/${P}.tar.bz2"

Further the archived website
http://web.archive.org/web/20070712050634/http://bcm43xx.berlios.de
tells us "This driver was included into the Linux kernel since 2.6.17-rc2."
That sounds to me that this ebuild is obsolete.

Rick, do you agree that it should be removed from the tree?
Comment 4 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2019-11-26 16:47:20 UTC
yes, this is safe to treeclean
