First you will need firmware: 1) Install bcm43xx-fwcutter 2) Get a Broadcom-distributed driver to cut the firmware out of # See the list in /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter-006/README # For the newer driver you'll need 4.x firmware. I recommend: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 3) Unpack the driver and cut out the firmware # tar -jxvf broadcom-wl-*.tar.bz2 # bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-*/kmod/wl_apsta.o You might have to blacklist the old driver first if you're using the new one: # echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist But at this point you should be able to reboot and have working wireless. Hooray! -w
