This is the package you want for your device:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firmware-b43-installer
It's a deb, contrib package.

Thanks. At this point in my investigation, I would like to know which version
ofB43 is loaded by netinst.iso. tty4 show that B43 is loaded and is requesting
b43/ucode13.fw or b43-open/ucode13.fw. From my searches so far, the error -2
is not an error, but a message that means it can't find those files. It also
appearsthat netinst.iso is looking for them on the ramfs/initramfs and is not
looking on the
removable media. I would like to know how to get to the source code for the
modulethat's putting up the messages on tty4 so I can study it and find out
what's really
going on. While this may be a somewhat rare problem, it is quite old problem
and
only the ucodeXX.fw value changes in the error -2 messages. While I now know
howto fix the C700 at this point, I think the netinst.iso code needs to be
looked at.
How do I determine which source code I should be studying? I assume its on
gethubsomewhere. Thanks for any help.
