As far as I can tell, you installed the firmware correctly. But it's possible that the driver you are using doesn't have some fixes needed for your hardware. I suggest that you try the driver from compat-wireless, which is the latest driver backported to the recent kernels: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download If it doesn't help, check the antenna connectors on the card if they are accessible. Also try ndiswrapper to rule out problems unrelated to the b43 driver. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
