Description of problem: When setting up a new wireless interface in mcc the path to ucode5.fw is not found. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open mcc 2. choose network + internet 3. choose Set up a new network interface 4. choose wireless 5. choose wlan0 (this laptop is an older dell d531 with bcm4311 wireless) The result of the above is an error "The following component is missing: /lib/firmware/b43/ucode5.fw" (see attached png). The actual path to ucode5.fw is /lib/firmware/b43-open/ucode5.fw. My workaround was to symlink b43-open to b43 which allowed finding the firmware. I don't know if the problem is actually in b43-openfwwf or in mcc's drakconnect but we have to start somewhere.

(In reply to Mike Rambo from comment #0) > I don't know if the problem is actually in b43-openfwwf or in mcc's drakconnect but we have to start somewhere. It is in b43-openfwwf. The kernel used to search in both paths, but I see this has also changed in MGA6 latest kernel... I have submitted b43-openfwwf-5.2-13.mga7 to updates_testing. Please test to ensure it fixes the problem for everyone.

This does fix the problem. Thanks.
I've had no futher problem. Should have marked it fixed back in June.
