Should have been obvious, I guess. I have looked at that page, and I don't see anything confusing there. I wish I could improve it, but I don't see how. The firmware checksum is verified, so either you are getting the right firmware, or you are not getting any. There is no talk of choosing "the correct driver". Instead, the page suggests downloading both firmwares rather than guessing: "If you are unsure and don't know what we are talking about here, always build both b43 and b43legacy (and get firmware for both too). The kernel autoloader will automatically do the right thing and load the correct driver for your device." -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
