Airport extreme and linux-2.6.25.

Hi all,

I just installed Lenny and did not manage to get the wireless network
working with the firmware produced by b43-fwcutter. Is there anybody who
manages?

I get error messages like this:

The downloaded firmware is the latest, not the obsolete one from b43-fwcutter.

Have a nice day,
