Re: [BLUG] help desperately needed for wireless on Debian

Hi,
This is an update. Thanks for your help and input.
First, I mistyped when I said that the b43 and b43legacy folders were
in /etc/firmware/. They were really in /lib/firmware/--but none of
the files had names resembling bcm43xx*.
Tonight I took off ndiswrapper and reinstalled b43-fwcutter.
Now, when I do "b43-fwcutter -i" (asking for information, not
extracting the driver) on every file from the CD that looks like it
might contain a driver, I get this:
Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by b43-fwcutter.
This file has an unknown MD5sum ad6d6894b48c702efcd8d85535e82777.

I think this may have been why I moved over to ndiswrapper, but that
was a couple days ago and I can't remember (moving in circles again).
