I don't have the machine anymore (it wasn't a mine, I replaced XP with Ubuntu for another person) so that I could collect logs. From the bug it should be clear what is the issue (broken driver selected for the HW explicitly by Ubuntu specific blacklist), so setting confirmed as requested by above comment.

(Debian) b43 firmware installer package install script doesn't work. It expects to be able to wget firmware package from internet, altough firmware is needed to get networking working in the first place. It should take as argument the location of the firmware tarball, and try wget only if that's missing.
