Than I ran
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
but it had no result. So I removed it, and than I ran
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43legacy-installer
So far I've been reading a lot about the BCM4306 vs b43-pci-bridge driver, but I haven't found any solutions for my laptop.
Is there anybody out there who can help me?
With kind regards,
