Re: debian and b43 driver
Hi GRV,
here is the documentation:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
I guess that the kernel in debian lenny is recent enough to use the b43
module in it.
What firmware to use and how to copy it where is described on the webpage
in detail. If your kernel is >= 2.6.25:
Open a shell, make sure your user is in group src, then
cd /usr/src
--
wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
tar xjf b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
cd b43-fwcutter-011
make
cd ..
export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver
sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR"

With NetworkManager wireless should be working then just fine.
