Re: Problem installing the b43 driver
filip@Username:~$ sudo modprobe -r b43
[sudo] password for filip:

What happened? Terminal didn't give me any ''answer''.
It did give you an answer. When the terminal simply returns to the prompt, that means, roughly, 'command executed and there are no errors or warnings to report.' That's exactly what we hoped for! However, the larger thing we hoped for, that your wireless would spring to life, did not occur. We know, therefor, that the driver b43 and its firmware is not the correct fix for your Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4329]. We will try another fix.
With a working wired ethernet connection, copy and paste these commands, each one at a time:
Code:
wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.112+bdcom-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i bcmwl*.deb
Detach the ethernet, reboot and give us your report.
