Hi all,

Im using HP mini with Broadcom wireless chipset. Currently STA drivers are installed and working, however i want to install alternative wireless driver (b43-fwcutter) to be able to enter monitor mode (which this driver is capable of) for using it in wireshark and kismet.

Now, jockey-gtk isn't listing it although i installed it using
'sudo apt-get install b43-ffwcutter'. Why is that?

here is the output of sudo jockey-gtk -l
kmod:wl - Broadcom STA wireless driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use)

i also tried sudo jockey-gtk -u (for updating driver databse but got same query)

does anyone know solution to this. thanks in advance!
