Hi I have this problem as well. My applicable LSPCI information is: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
After enabling restricted drivers in Beta, and installing bcm43xx-fwcutter (after which it did not work and rebooting did not help).... I noticed an error that I would get every once in a while when watching (whatever terminal you get when you press ctrl+alt+f1): [ 2563.664354] b43-phy5 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed. [ 2563.664367] b43-phy5 ERROR: You must go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware (version 4). after doing what you said in this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/197819/comments/7 the blue light instantly turned on and my computer began noticing wireless networks. (Can't connect to 128-bit WEP wireless here on campus though, but that probably belongs in another bug report). Running 2.6.24-12-generic on HH Beta. I should also mention that in Alpha 6 what I got to work apparently was something along the lines of what this guy wrote here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/197819/comments/14 I would bumble around installing/uninstalling that using the restricted drivers option in HH and the Synaptic manager, while continually installing bcm43xx-fwcutter. Not sure which it was that would get it to work, it just mysteriously would work after rebooting. I want to get this stamped out so if there's anything I can do to help please let me know, I've signed up for emails, or email me directly if it shows my email address (new to this). -- [Hardy]b43-fwcutter install script fails to fetch firmware in first run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
