Comment 1 José Jorge 2012-04-15 18:44:31 CEST 
I changed the path of the firmware files because of a change upstream in b43 module, and forgot to change drakxnet according to it.

While I cannot fix it, please change the path in
/usr/lib/libDrakX/network/connection/wireless.pm
Comment 2 José Jorge 2012-04-16 19:19:32 CEST 
drakx-net-1.7-1.mga2 should fix this bug as soon as it is pushed to mirrors.

Please re-open the bug if it is not fixed for you.
