I don't know how this is/not related precisely, but on my system
fxcutter just simply wasn't installed (I tried to remove it via sudo
aptitude remove b43-fwcutter); just typing
sudo aptitudeb43-fwcutter
into the terminal fixed the issue. : )

what I expected to happen : after doing a fresh install of Hardy Alpha 5, I
started the Restricted Driver Manager to install the broadcom firmware to
get my wireless working, just like I did in Gutsy. I expected the fwcutter
package to download and install the correct firmware, which is what happened
under Gutsy. In Gutsy, the little orange light turned blue right away ( my
machine is an HP dv6000 series laptop ) indicating that wireless is up and
running.

what happened instead : started the Restricted Driver manager now called
Hardware Drivers under System--Administration, clicked the checkbox for
the Broadcom firmware to be downloaded and installed. The Hardware Driver
manager told me it had downloaded and installed the firmware, however, the
orange light did not turn blue. I tried rebooting to see if that would make
a difference. It did not make a difference. No working wireless. This page :
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 seems to indicate that
various kernel versions need not just different versions of the firmware,
but different versions of the fwcutter program/package itself, as well.
Would be great if that could be integrated into Hardy before final release.
