Please note that the firmware from the binary drivers is copyrighted by Broadcom Corporation and must not be redistributed.

So, no, we can't "get them" for you, you have to do it yourself.

A good guide is here

Sorry, you can download it yourself. Go to Broadcoms website and get it. And if you'd like help, you should post version/distro of Linux, what EXACT hardware you're using, etc. Asking us to download things for you is pretty rude.

If you'd like help with getting the tool to work, or getting the drivers loaded, we'll be glad to. But you have to tell us what you're doing, where you're getting stuck, and provide details.

Hi,

Try 'Missing your Wireless Drivers?' for interim use.

Did you miss the part in my last post, where I said you could get them from Broadcom's website??

And not sure what you mean by your post..."I keep trying the bfw cutter tool but the cammand to extract it using terminal". Do you get it to work? Error(s)? No luck? What??? Provide details, and maybe you can get help.
