Linux dist upgrade wifi broadcom firmware continued

linux-wifi-dist-upgrade-continued

since i've gone from lenny to sid (unstable!)

I need to get the "newer" firmware from broadcom (proprietary so not included in the kernel)

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-new

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32338

then run the same steps as before

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
