Hi,
I have 2 linux partitions on this acer aspire laptop. one has lenny and
the other has sid. The lenny one detects the wireless card fine. The sid
one doesn't.
When I run: 'ifconfig wlan0 up' on sid I get:
[ 4424.513283] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found
[ 4424.515984] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode5.fw" not found
[ 4424.518740] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and
download the correct firmware
for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this
website.
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
But I have b43-fwcutter installed on both partitions:
ii b43-fwcutter 1:013-2 Utility
for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware
I don't remember doing anything else than installing b43-fwcutter on
lenny but sure enough /lib/firmware on lenny has /b43 and /b43legacy and
on sid it doesn't so the firmware is missing.
What am I doing wrong?
Hugo
