Make sure that you say no or cancel when the installer asks you to find/download the firmware for you. It will get stuck because it is thinking that there is an internet connection. Now skip down to the Downloading Firmware section. If you don't have a Hardy install CD You will have to find a place with a working internet connection. Go to this link: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/utils/b43-fwcutter Download the version that you need--amd64 for 64-bit and i386 for 32-bit. Copy the file to your home directory and do the following: 64-bit: Code:
cd sudo dpkg -i b43-fwcutter_011-1_amd64.deb
It is possible that the _011-1_ portion is another number. Make sure that you say no or cancel when the installer asks you to find/download the firmware for you. It will get stuck because it is thinking that there is an internet connection. 32-bit: Code:
cd sudo dpkg -i b43-fwcutter_011-1_i386.deb
It is possible that the _011-1_ portion is another number. Make sure that you say no or cancel when the installer asks you to find/download the firmware for you. It will get stuck because it is thinking that there is an internet connection. Downloading Firmware Both 32-bit and 64-bit: You will still need to find someplace with a working internet connection and download the following files: Code:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
Copy those files to your home directory. In the Terminal/Konsole/xterm window do the following: Code:
cd sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o tar xfvj broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta_mimo.o sudo chmod o+rx /lib/firmware/b43 /lib/firmware/b43legacy sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
For those of you who are configuring your /etc/network/interfaces, you might need to do: Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
That will restarting your network and will read through the /etc/networking/interfaces to connect. That should be it! Another option (if you have a working internet connection) in Kubuntu is to go into System->Hardware Driver Manger. Once you have entered your password (if you have not done anything as root recently) the Hardware Driver screen will appear. It should have Broadcom B43 wireless drvier as an option. Click on the Enabled checkbox and it should do the b43-fwcutter install for you. It will ask you if you want it to find the firmware for you. Select yes and you should be set. Ubuntu users should have something similar menu item (System->Adminstration>Hardware Driver ?) or a pci card symbol on the panel that you can click. Note for users of encryption: If for some reason you cannot connect, you might need to enter the password through Network Manager (wireless icon in the panel) and it should ask you for a keyring password. From there you should be able to connect. See post #30 for more information. Thanks esteckis! Good luck! Hope this helps.
