I am trying to lo use Broadcom wireless device on GuixSD. It is
confirmed to work with free drivers and free firmware. It works
correctly in Trisquel too.

dmesg gives the following messages. I have included only the relevant
parts:

[...]

[   20.591158] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode5.fw" not
found
[   21.313688] b43-phy0 ERROR: /*(DEBLOBBED)*/

“DEBLOBBED” would suggest that Linux-libre’s deblobbing script viewed it
as an opaque binary blob and thus patched it, which may be an issue
here, no?

I assume you used the firmware packages that Leo copied.  Could you get
its author to submit it?  :-)

What’s your GuixSD OS config like?  You must make sure to list the
firmware packages in the ‘firmware’ field, as noted at:


https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/operating_002dsystem-Reference.html#index-firmware

Is this part OK?

I no longer Have that computer. I was not able to use GuixSD because I was not able to configure the system correctly.
