Hello, I just installed 14.04 on a mid-2010 macbook pro 13-inch and it's got a broadcom wireless adapter. So I installed the firmware-b43-installer and it works, it just only works after I suspend and wake up the computer.

I've been using this.

I've got an update.

So when I run


sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb
sudo modprobe b43 ssb
sudo rfkill unblock all

that will let the wireless adapter see the networks, but when I actually try to connect to a network I just get stuck in a loop and it never connects.

I got it working.

This is what I'm using now.


sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb
sudo modprobe ssb
sudo modprobe b43
sudo killall wpa_supplicant
sudo rfkill unblock all
