Hi all:
My wifi doesn't work after applying the procedure of the following page "
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Known_PCI_devices";.
I am going to try to summarize my situation.
I have installed in my Lenovo Laptop N500, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic.
monte...@latosca:~$ uname -r
*2.6.31-14-generic*
I thing it's working with 64 bits

Known PCI devicesmonte...@latosca:~$ lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312
802.11b/g*[14e4:4315]
* (rev 01)

07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M
Fast Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1713] (rev 02)
I thing that my card is the following:
*PCI-ID*
*State*
*Chip*
*Modes*
*PHY version*
*Driver*
14e4:4315
supported 2.6.32 and later
BCM4312
b/g
LP
b43
Then, I applied the following procedure without problems and when I
restarted my laptop the wifi network didn't work yet. Can you help me?
You are using the b43 driver with an LP-PHY card (e.g. BCM4312)
Follow these instructions if you are using the *b43* driver from *
linux-2.6.32* and newer or *compat-wireless-2.6*, or from any current GIT
tree, and have a device with a low-power PHY.
Use the current Git version of b43-fwcutter.
Download, extract the b43-fwcutter tarball and build it:
git clone http://git.bu3sch.de/git/b43-tools.git
cd b43-tools/fwcutter
make
cd ..
Use version 4.174.64.19 of Broadcom's proprietary driver. (The tarball is
mislabeled as "4.178.10.4", but it is actually 4.174.64.19.)
Download and extract the firmware from this driver tarball:
export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux
sudo ../../fwcutter/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o
Note that you must adjust the FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR path to your
distribution. The standard place where firmware is installed to is
/lib/firmware. However some distributions put firmware in a different place.
Thanks in advance
BR
