While connected via ethernet,

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer

When it finishes, then just

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe b43

Wait a few minutes, connect and enjoy.

I have a question. I need each time type "sudo modprobe b43" to start the wireless? How I fix that to start automatically? My laptop is a Compac Presario f500, and it have a switch to start the wireless. It allways is ON. tnks
