This is the one if you want to make it from source. Good luck! |
Thanks! This will enable me to connect to my router with WPA encryption protocols? Right now, I'm able to connect so long as the access point is unprotected. I don't want to do anything that would keep me from connecting at all so I want to be really careful here.

The DMESG was the key, or at least, one key in my adventure. Told me:
[ 24.137153] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/...devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website. Methinks I'm getting closer... Mine is an Acer Aspire 3610 with a RealTek wired LAN and a Broadcomm BCM4318 for wireless. Booted into Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix. Now, to restart (so much nicer and faster in Linux) and see what DMESG tells me after. |
I am getting closer, but it is still reporting (in dmesg):
Quote:
BTW, this is an Aspire with a failing 40GB HDD, soon to be replaced with a 60-80 GB HDD and made dual-bootable into Win 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook. |
