i just installed 10.04 on PowerBook G4 and the wireless driver doesn't work out of the box (b43legacy-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43legacy/ucode4.fw" not found or load failed.).
a quick google led me to believe that installing the b43-fwcutter package might get me up and running. trying to install b43-fwcutter from the Ubuntu Software Center gave: --- Package operation failed The installation or removal of a software package failed. installArchives() failed: Preconfiguring packages ...
