Grandma's wireless needs firmware and a helping hand from you. Here is a file you can download and put on a USB key. Drag and drop it from the USB key to her Desktop. Right-click it and select Extract Here. Now open a terminal and do:

sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/b43
sudo cp Desktop/b43/* /lib/firmware/b43
sudo modprobe -r b43
sudo modprobe b43

Is it working now? Hug Grandma from old Chili and tell her to enjoy her Facebook!

I am at my grandma house and the Wifi disappear again lucky the terminal saved the the command so i just follow it and it worked again ... but in any chance this change could be make permanent?

just rebooted and the wifi was not found so i quantify the findings hehe still after
changing the folder and doing sudo modprobe b43 everything works until you restart or shut down the computer

Please try this:
