Well, It does not work for me. I went to the archives. I grabbed the 6.30.223.141-1 archive. Unpacked it. Put the edited files from the patch above in the amd64 directory and built the module. To get it to build, I had to edit the MAKEFILE to add this EXTRA_CFLAGS "-Wno-error=date-time" as it would not build due to some GCC error with date and time. At this point, I was able ti build and get wl.ko. I then removed the b43 driver and its associated modules with modprobe -r . Then I installed the 80211 modules: sudo modprobe cfg80211 sudo modprobe lib80211 then I added the module from the local directory: insmod wl.ko
Now I can still only see 2.4GHz WAPs and can only connect to my 2.4 GHz WAP on my Linksys E3200 router running original firmware. I cannot connect to the 2.4GHz WAP on my main router running ddwrt. I cannot 'see' any of the 5Ghz WAPs.
