Firmware b43 installer - where did it go
Ok, I just recently installed Mate 17 and the command sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer worked. I just re-installed (don't ask) and now it says that firmware-b43-installer can't be found. Has it been removed from the repositories? I need it to get my broadcom wifi stuff up and running.

You might need to refresh the package lists
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
Re: Firmware b43 installer - where did it go - solved
Thanks.
Before I saw your post I re-installed Mate and before installing I went through the command lines to install Wifi on a Live CD. It worked without the apt-get update.
After the install I opened Mate and did not allow any updates. I went through the command lines to install b43 and it worked and again I didn't need to use apt-get update.
The reason I didn't use the apt-get update was because the previous install I allowed the program to install updates and then the B43 went missing. So I was afraid to add apt-get update I might again lose B43.
Anyhow it is working.
