The card doesn't give a toss what's going on. Its not the card. You're making no sense. Are you trying to say that - when you try to go to the outside world you are redirected to "http://localhost/...";? - You can't ping anywhere? - any pings you make are targeted at localhost? Have you followed the process for manually bringing up a wireless card? $ su # ifconfig wlan0 down # iwconfig wlan0 essid "MY_ESSID" ( if you use a wireless key... ) # iwconfig wlan0 key D34DB33FB4B3 # ifconfig wlan0 up # dhclient -v wlan0 # exit $ curl http://www.example.com It sounds like to me that you set an HTTP proxy configured in your env vars... As well, I don't use the firmware-installer I just keep a tarball of the b43 firmwares kicking around on my website. http://indrora.homelinux.org/b43-fw.tar % cat ~/.sig ._____________________________________________________.
