Hi,
I just recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my macbook pro (mid-2012) and my wireless card is disabled. Unfortunately, I do not have access to an ethernet cable, which makes the problem very hard for me. The network settings says it is missing firmware. I understand I need b43 stuff and I have downloaded the required packages on my Mac OSX partition. I then used the following commands in terminal to install everything.
sudo dpkg -i b43-fwcutter_014-9_i386.deb
tar xfvj broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o.
None of the above commands returned error codes. Is there anything else I need to do. When I ran sudo lshw -class networt it said the driver was b43, but the firmware "N/A". My network still says it is disabled. Is there anything eles I should do? Thanks.
