PKGBUILD failed to install b43-firmware

I am trying to install my Broadcom wireless interface with b43-firmware package. When I do makepkg, it shows an error that says "==> ERROR install file (b43-firmware.install) does not exist or is not a regular file".

Any idea what this file is?

Hey Jfox42,

Have you tried using yaourt to build this package?

That is absolutely horrible advice.  Don't use yaourt.  Just download the tarball properly from the AUR page or git clone properly.  You cannot just grab the PKGBUILD alone.
