Hi Raul, I'm a newbie, so probably can't help much. But I had a similar problem after a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 on my Asus a6000. All I did was to connect an ethernet cable to my laptop so as to have an internet connection. After installing all available updates and rebooting, I opened Synaptics, searched for "b43" and found that "b43-fwcutter_012-1_i386.deb" was allegedly installed. However I marked it for re-installation and after that it worked fine!

After pressing activate button it comes back with "System error: InstallArchives()failed" despite being connected to internet by ethernet cable. Didn't have any problems with 8.04, but gave up Ubuntu after trying unsuccessfully to update to 9.04. Seems 9.10 may have the same problems. Strangely, I use EEEbuntu 8.04 on my AsusEEE without problems, but if I update to 9.04 it doesn't work.....
