According to Thom the recommendation:In fact, this is no bug in
bcm43xx-fwcutter and support has not been dropped for older cards. The new
bcm43xx driver, which went to Feisty, requires a 4.x firmware version. In order
to get one, download the latest bcm43xx-fwcutter from
http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4547 and look at the
README. At the bottom, there is a link to a 4.x firmware. Get it and compile
the bcm43xx-fwcutter version that you just got (the one in Ubuntu is too old)
running make. Then extract the firmware via ./bcm43xx-fwcutter FWFILE and copy
the .fw files to /lib/firmware. Reload the bcm43xx module (sudo rmmod bcm43xx
&& sudo modprobe bcm43xx) and everything should work fine then. I'll try to get
an exception in order to make the recent fwcutter version available in Feisty.
Doesn't seem to fix the issue, back to the drawing board?
** Changed in: bcm43xx-fwcutter (Ubuntu)
