hehe i got it working

i had to conenct to the internet using another wireless card i had and install the b43-fwcutter package this had not been installed originally, i think it should have been.

It installed and configured all now working ok

the only thing i think may be wrong is the card speed 11b instead of 11g but I will look into this later

:guitar:

thanks to me :D
