Bug Description

When running the script that automagically fetches firmware for Broadcom bcm43xx cards the error happens. To reproduce error:
- sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
- sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
- observe the following:

michal@evo:~$ sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
--18:36:09-- http://www.nuevascreaciones.com/drinus/airport/wl_apsta.o
           => `wl_apsta.o'

The solution is to replace 'http://www.nuevascreaciones.com/drinus/airport/wl_apsta.o' with 'http://drinus.net/airport/wl_apsta.o' as stated in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper

After the change, the firmware installs properly.

I added the bug to Debian BTS, now waiting for Debian maintainer to correct it and will ask for sync in Ubuntu.
