Hi.

No, it doesn't. The proprietary module is called "wl", "b43" already
is the open source one.

The one you're running is from compat-wireless, which is a backport of
the wireless stack from newer kernels to older ones.

Your steps make no sense as the used b43 comes from package/mac80211/,
not the kernel. I suggest to not alter the kernel config unless you
absolutely know what you're doing.

You're alreqady running it.
