E: Couldn't find package firmware-b43-installer
I went to Synaptic Package Manager and couldn't find firmware-b43-installer. What do I do now?

btw; thanks for the quick response. I'm getting pumped I might be wireless by tonight.
Do the following commands one at a time and in the order you see them.
Make sure you are plugged in on the wire and on the Internet.
After you do the following you must reboot and then unplug the wire and you should have wireless working.
Code:
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
Code:
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
Code:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
Code:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep '8180|acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl| lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3 |rt6|rt7|witch|wl'
This is the output from the last command:
# which ath5k cannot recover. To prevent this condition, stop
blacklist ath_pci
blacklist eth1394
# replaced by p54pci
blacklist prism54
# replaced by b43 and ssb.
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist uart6850
blacklist twl4030_wdt
