Most likely you don't have the firmware. Please try: aptitude install bcm43xx-fwcutter That should download and install the firmware upon install. If you cannot get that system online at all, you can get bcm43xx-fwcutter from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 and follow the instructions how to extract the firmware. Then transfer it to the laptop. If the problems persist, please check the kernel messages with "dmesg". You may also want to find out which driver you are using by running: lsmod |grep -E '(b43|bcm43)' If you are using b43 or b43legacy, you'll need b43-fwcutter, which creates slightly different firmware files. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
