Having an issue with this message when booting, checked the profile and found nothing in there also deleted the file and repasted it with this command "sudo cp /usr/share/base-files/profile /etc/profile"
Didnt help, tired checking .bashrc dont really know what to look for but there is nothing that mentiones b43 there.
