OK I am new to linux so you will have to bear with me if I say something ridiculous.
I have managed to connect to wireless networks with the wl module, however I would like to install b43 module instead as I get more functionality with my card.
I am trying to install the b43 for my broadcom wireless card. So far I have managed to get b43 in lsmod, with my firmware b43-fwcutter also installed. However, iwconfig doesn't show my card, and I don't get any kind of wireless action going on.
I have come to the conclusion that either I am not installing b43 in the right place (I have no idea how to install to a specific directory), or I am installing b43-fwcutter and b43 module in the wrong order or both.
Naturally I have become confused, and I am sure this is normally a very simple thing to do. Please let me know if you need more information, as I may have left out something vital ;)
