After installing bw-fwcutter, the system complains that the correct firmware cannot be installed.
After installing firmware-b43-installer, I get the following: [ 632.253678] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain [ 632.364069] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: [ 632.364079] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) [ 632.364086] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 632.364092] cfg80211: (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 632.364099] cfg80211: (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 632.364105] cfg80211: (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 632.364111] cfg80211: (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 632.400173] ssb: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (cc 0x800, rev 0x04, vendor 0x4243) [ 632.400186] ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x05, vendor 0x4243) [ 632.400195] ssb: Core 2 found: PCMCIA (cc 0x80D, rev 0x02, vendor 0x4243) [ 632.400204] ssb: Core 3 found: V90 (cc 0x807, rev 0x02, vendor 0x4243) [ 632.400213] ssb: Core 4 found: PCI (cc 0x804, rev 0x09, vendor 0x4243) [ 632.409698] ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0001:01:01.0 [ 632.461938] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found (core revision 5) [ 632.514162] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel_ht' [ 632.519753] Registered led device: b43-phy0::tx [ 632.519801] Registered led device: b43-phy0::rx [ 632.519845] Registered led device: b43-phy0::radio [ 632.519888] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNL ] [ 632.889563] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 508.1084 (2009-01-14 01:32:01) [ 632.949674] b43-pci-bridge 0001:01:01.0: Warning: IOMMU window too big for device mask [ 632.949684] b43-pci-bridge 0001:01:01.0: mask: 0x3fffffff, table end: 0x80000000 [ 632.949692] b43-phy0 ERROR: The machine/kernel does not support the required 30-bit DMA mask root@imac:~# uname -a Linux imac 3.2.0-60-powerpc64-smp #91-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 19 04:03:02 UTC 2014 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux With the development kernel from above, the link just never becomes ready.
