Re: Dell Latitude D610, Ubuntu 11.10, and BCM4306 No Wireless
Now open a terminal and copy the firmware to the correct location:
Code:
sudo cp Desktop/b43/ /lib/firmware
Now unload and reload the driver so it grabs the firmware:
Code:
sudo modprobe -r b43
sudo modprobe b43
I made a mistake and I apologize. Nothing worse than an old newbie!
Please do:
Code:
sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/b43
sudo cp Desktop/b43/* /lib/firmware/b43
sudo modprobe -r b43
sudo modprobe b43
Be sure that the firmware made it this time:
Code:
ls -al /lib/firmware/b43
If it went well, you should have wireless and should see many lines like:

You don't have to post it; just confirm it's there.
