Dear mr/mrs,
I cannot properly get the wireless card Broadcom BCM 4306 (14e4:4320 Rev. 03)
(b43legacy?) working.
Being a newby in Linux land (former Windows-user and now Mac user) I did the
following to install the b43 driver:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
The card worked for a while, then the blue led on the corner started to blink
instead of burning constantly and then the card stopped working.
Could you please give me some hints?
Thank you in advance,
Ben Berwers

Everything you posted as dmesg output came from your firewall and involved eth0,
not your wireless card. As such, that output tells us nothing.
A BCM4306 (14e4:4320) with Rev 3 should use b43, not b43legacy. You could tell
that by looking at the output of dmesg immediately after running the following
two commands:
sudo /sbin/modprobe -rv b43
sudo /sbin/modprobe -v b43
A BCM4306 is pretty simple. The one I use is a PCMCIA device with two LEDs. One
is steady to indicate power, and the other blinks when there is traffic. I have
no idea what configuration you have, or what the LEDs indicate.
When the device stopped working, what was changed on your system? Was there a
new kernel, or did some other software get changed? Perhaps your device
malfunctioned.
