I used what was in Debian on my first attempts but it seems that version is outdated or just incorrect for my wireless card. So I tried this: wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 tar xjvf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5 b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by b43-fwcutter. This file has an unknown MD5sum cb8d70972b885b1f8883b943c0261a3c. I repeated this several times with the same results each time. Not sure what to do from this point. -- glenn greenfield _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
