I did almost exactly what was written above, but used Ubuntu packages rather than downloading the source code for fwcutter and compiling that. Here is what I did:
- Open a new terminal - sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter - wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 - tar -xjf broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 - cd broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod - sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta.o - Close the terminal and reboot This tutorial (or something like it) was found at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 . NOTE: This driver will only work on Linux kernel 2.6.24 or older. To find out what kernel version you have, type `uname -r` into a terminal. As of the time of writing, Hardy Heron (8.04) uses 2.6.24, so unless you have manually installed a newer kernel, the above tutorial will work for you.
