Ok, more. :) `sudo rmmod b44` then outputs nothing. `sudo rmmod ssb` now outputs nothing. `sudo modprobe b43` outputs nothing.
`dmesg | tail` is: [ 634.775081] ssb: SPROM revision 2 detected.

I went to the website as directed, downloaded the firmware file, and ran the instructions as directed on the website (using the automatically installed fwcutter instead of the one they provide). My wireless light is now on. I will reboot and report back. -- Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver will not enable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
