read http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 the section "You are using the b43 driver from linux-2.6.25 or newer" `modprobe b43` and look at the output of `dmesg`. It should say sth about missing firmware. The website says you need to extract the firmware from the official driver: export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-012/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta_mimo.o The Kernel has been compiled with ## file: drivers/net/wireless/b43/Kconfig CONFIG_B43=m CONFIG_B43_PCMCIA=y # CONFIG_B43_DEBUG is not set ## file: drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/Kconfig CONFIG_B43LEGACY=m CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DEBUG=y ## choice: Broadcom 43xx-legacy data transfer mode CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE=y # CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DMA_MODE is not set # CONFIG_B43LEGACY_PIO_MODE is not set ## end choice so it /should/ work.
