bcm4306 isn't working||need ucode4.fw
Okay, so I'm using ubuntu 10.10 and I have a Dell latitude d600. My wireless controller is a broadcom bcm4306/2 and I've downloaded the b43-fwcutter, but to no avail, and I've also tried activating the proprietary drivers for the card, and it doesn't work either. I'm getting frustrated with this because it's confining to sit in Dad's office trying to do everything hooked up physically to the router. It tells me in the error messages that I need "b43legacy/
Thanks for any help that you could give me.

Hi,
Please first connect your wired network adapter to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).
In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:
Step 1:
If you are using the Gnome interface, open the Terminal console via "Applications-
If you are using the Unity interface, the easiest way to open the Terminal is to use the 'search' function on the dash. Or you can click on the 'More Apps' button, click on the 'See more results' by the installed section, and find it in that list of applications. A third way, available after you click on the 'More Apps' button, is to go to the search bar, and see that the far right end of it says 'All Applications'. You then click on that, and you'll see the full list. Then you can go to Accessories > Terminal after that.
So the methods in Unity are:
Dash > Search for Terminal
Dash > More Apps > 'See More Results' > Terminal
Dash > More Apps > Accessories > Terminal
Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https:/
Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/
Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.
Step 4: Please also clarify if you installed Ubuntu to the harddisk and are running from a harddisk install OR if you are only testing Ubuntu in a LiveCD session.
Regards,
Mark

Hi,
Please proceed with the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove firmware-
sudo apt-get remove b43-fwcutter
Then execute the following manual installation procedure:
http://
So in this case, you need to manually install b43-fwcutter without using apt-get (to circumvent a certain bug in Ubuntu).
Regards,
Mark

Hi,
I tried the manual installation of b43-fwcutter listed on the linuxwireless forums (http://
I think this bug technically is fixed, because the card now reads networks, but I'm still having problems, so I'm going to create a new discussion page. I'll link to it in a later post.
