Wireless Connection Problem

[nm_geo]

You might try the firmware-b43-installer..
Remove the legacy firmware ..

This does not agree with the Linux B43 link but who knows.

Not supported card here (PCI id 14e4:165
14e4:4320)!
Use b43 firmware. This is just for the b43legacy driver.

Strange indeed.. more history perhaps and it will not hurt a thing.

[JazzyJoe70]

I deleted the legacy drivers and restarted the computer but it still didn't work.

[nm_geo]

I deleted the legacy drivers and restarted the computer but it still didn't work.

Did you install the firmware-b43-installer <<< note not legacy
and make sure b43-fwcutter is installed.
Try that then

dmesg | grep firmware

[JazzyJoe70]

yes both firmware-b43-installer and b43-fwcutter are installed.

[nm_geo]

yes both firmware-b43-installer and b43-fwcutter are installed.

please in terminal

sudo modprobe b43

dmesg | grep firmware

lsmod

sudo lshw -C network

Okay you have removed the legacy firmware correct?

I think we need to reboot.. without ethernet cable..

Then let's run all those commands again.

We have a conflict ssb 45942 2 b43legacy,b43

[thefasterblueone]

Can you run this and post results.

rfkill list

[JazzyJoe70]

It seem like b43legacy is still there I thought I had deleted the file. I went to synaptic and seleted b43legacy and right click for complete removal.

Let's try to remove the b43legacy

sudo rmmod -f b43legacy

sudo modprobe b43
