 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?
Hi,

It should be ok (although I would recommend a 2.6.33 if you have the
opportunity to find one already available). To help you further, I
recommend you provide the output of these 3 commands:

# dmesg | grep b43
# lsmod
# iwconfig

Cheers,
Eric

 Hi:
 
 I will try to install that kernel version.
 Here you can find the outputs.
 Thanks
 
 monte...@latosca:/etc$ dmesg | grep b43
 [2.079698] b43-pci-bridge :04:00.0: PCI INT A - GSI 18 (level,
 low) - IRQ 18
 [2.079720] b43-pci-bridge :04:00.0: setting latency timer to 6

Not sure why, but the b43 driver is not even tried to be loaded. (maybe
due to some black-listing in modprobe?)

David, please do a modprobe b43 and rerun the 3 commands.

Ah, it looks much better! You should now be able to use the wifi (via
NetworkManager for instance) :-)

To get the driver automatically loaded, I would recommend you ask on a
community who knows more about ubuntu, I highly suspect some kind of
blacklisting in modprobe (because this hardware required the wl driver
in older kernels).

Please let us know if you succeed in connecting to your wifi network.

See you,
Eric

 This card worked perfectly in Ubuntu 9.04 with the b43 driver. I haven't
 tested with 9.10.
 
 Wait, moment. What did you say? Are you completely, really sure
 14e4:4315 did work in Ubuntu 9.04 with b43? 9.04 comes with kernel
 2.6.28. As far as we know 14e4:4315 is LP-PHY and we support LP-PHY
 from 2.6.32 kernel. Did you install some more recent kernel in your
 9.04? I don't understand... maybe id is duplicated, and there are two
 cards with same ID and different PHYs?
 
 Please, try to explain this.
Hi,
Antti, maybe you could do a lsmod, to check if the wl driver is loaded.

 Hello,

 I've got a bcm43 with LP-PHY (14e4:4315, rev 01). The b43 driver seems

 encryption, or just WEP, there is no problem. However, when I try to
 connect to a AP with WPA (which works from Windows, and also with the wl
 driver), it fails to associate. wpa_cli shows me this messages repeatedly:
 2Trying to associate with 00:18:84:15:d3:3e (SSID='MyPlace9' freq=2412
 MHz)
 2Authentication with 00:18:84:15:d3:3e timed out.

 There doesn't seem to be any interesting error message in dmesg.
 I've just tried with Linus'git head, and it's the same result. The
 firmware loaded is noted as 478.104 in dmesg.

 What can I do to try to debug this?
 
 The problem is not general. I use b43 with a 4315 device with WPA or WPA2
 without difficulty.
 
 Are you using NetworkManager? If so, look at /var/log/NetworkManager. If not,
 then you need to start wpa_supplicant separately with the -ddd option.
I'm using Mandriva's network manager (which is basically just a frontend
to wpa_supplicant). However, now that I try just with wpa_supplicant, it
works fine!

I'll investigate a bit further, it's probably a bug in the frontend.
Thanks a lot,
Eric
