[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#338144: linux-wlan-ng-firmware: firmware script fails when curl is installed

[Malcolm Parsons]

Package: linux-wlan-ng-firmware
Version: 0.2.2+dfsg-4
Severity: important

When curl is installed, linux-wlan-ng-build-firmware-deb tries to use it
to download the firmware files.  curl outputs the download to stdout,
not to file.  This makes a big mess in the terminal, and the script
fails.

Using wget works fine, but it tries curl first.
