Larry, I think there's a confusion here. The web page says: "1. Download the appropriate driver listed above. Note that b43 needs V4 firmware, b43legacy and bcm43xx need V3. For V4 firmware, you will also need to untar the downloaded file. "
Now, I downloaded the firmware for V3 which is (wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o) and to install it I needed bcm43xx-fwcutter based on what the webpage says. The command in my previous post, shows that I have used V3 to install the firmware. I don't understand what I am doing wrong.
