Thanks Rafal! I updated the kernel to 2.6.32 and it doesn't work yet. monte...@latosca:~$ uname -a Linux latosca 2.6.32-020632-generic #020632 SMP Thu Dec 3 10:58:45 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
After updating the kernel I have deleted the directory /lib/firmware/b43 and I have executed again the below procedure. After that I restarted my laptop and it doesn't work... :-( Can you help me, please? You are using the b43 driver with an LP-PHY card (e.g. BCM4312) Follow these instructions if you are using the *b43* driver from * linux-2.6.32* and newer or *compat-wireless-2.6*, or from any current GIT tree, and have a device with a low-power PHY. Use the current Git version of b43-fwcutter. Download, extract the b43-fwcutter tarball and build it: git clone http://git.bu3sch.de/git/b43-tools.git cd b43-tools/fwcutter make cd .. Use version 4.174.64.19 of Broadcom's proprietary driver. (The tarball is mislabeled as "4.178.10.4", but it is actually 4.174.64.19.) Download and extract the firmware from this driver tarball: export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux sudo ../../fwcutter/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o Note that you must adjust the FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR path to your distribution. The standard place where firmware is installed to is /lib/firmware. However some distributions put firmware in a different place. 2010/2/5 Rafał Miłecki <zaj...@gmail.com> > Argh, please, use text/plain for ML! > > 2010/2/5 David Montero <monte...@gmail.com> > > monte...@latosca:~$ uname -r > > 2.6.31-14-generic > > > > I thing it's working with 64 bits > > You can check that with uname -a.
