Compaq Presario C714NR, Intel GM965

01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan
mini-PCI (rev 02)

Installed b43-fwcutter and followed the instructions at
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware

Got http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2

untarred that file and ran
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmare broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta.o

that seemed to work, and populated /lib/firmware/b43/ with a bunch of
*.fw files.

Then rmmod b43; modprobe -vv b43. No errors. Nothing in syslog.

modprobe also loaded cfg80211 and mac80211.

Shouldn't I have seen the firmware being loaded in dmesg, or syslog?

Nothing at all about the 4311 card in dmesg.

Made sure NetworkManager was working. Restarted it. I can see the icon.
No connection. If I connect the wire it starts up the wired connection.

dmesg does show this error:

ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0000:01:00.0

I also rmmod b43, and modprobe'd b43legacy. No help.

Any help appreciated.
