I have a Dell Latitude D500 with a Broadcom BCM4306 and a fresh install of LMDE, how do I upgrade the firmware so it will work?

Thanks.

Is firmware-b43-installer installed?

If it isn't, install it and reboot.

Do I install that from Synaptic? Thanks.

Thanks

Reboot and log in. Available wifi networks should be displayed and you should now be able to select yours.
