Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb

I try install b43-fwcutter, and this package recommend download a driver
from internet. I accept this.

But after installation, I see in boot time that firmware is try to be
loaded from /lib/modules/b43, but b43-fwcutter create in
/lib/modules/b43legacy, so I create a symbolic link to it.

But now, I see in boot time:
b43-phy0 ERROR: YOUR FIRMWARE IS TOO OLD. Firmware from binary drivers
older than version 4.x is unsupported. You must upgrade your firmware
files.

b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and
download the latest firmware (version 4)

OK, I go to linuxwireless.org, but is still impossible use my wireless
device.

Anyone have some idea about what is happening?

I using knetworkmanager and Lynksys WAG200G adsl/wireless router (With
WPA2-Mixed authentication mode).

Best regards,
