This should lead to system having firmware in /lib/firmware/b43/. Make sure you have "some" files in this directory. > Seems work : ls /lib/firmware/b43-open/ > a0g0bsinitvals5.fw a0g1bsinitvals9.fw b0g0bsinitvals9.fw > lp0bsinitvals15.fw n0initvals11.fw ucode5.fw > a0g0bsinitvals9.fw a0g1initvals13.fw b0g0initvals13.fw > lp0initvals13.fw pcm5.fw ucode9.fw > a0g0initvals5.fw a0g1initvals5.fw b0g0initvals5.fw > lp0initvals14.fw ucode11.fw > a0g0initvals9.fw a0g1initvals9.fw b0g0initvals9.fw > lp0initvals15.fw ucode13.fw > a0g1bsinitvals13.fw b0g0bsinitvals13.fw lp0bsinitvals13.fw > n0absinitvals11.fw ucode14.fw > a0g1bsinitvals5.fw b0g0bsinitvals5.fw lp0bsinitvals14.fw > n0bsinitvals11.fw ucode15.fw b43-open is for open firmware, which does not support LP-PHY.
