> I suggest using firmware-b43-installer ... Once again, I am using dpkg and installing the deb packages locally because I am trying to troubleshoot, make a wireless card work.
Why would a package used to make a wireless card come to live, have to connect to the Internet to do its things? Isn't it obvious that the wireless card is exactly what someone is trying to fix, no? There has to be a way to install the drivers of a wireless card without having to connect to the Internet.
