So I got sick of Debian because of it's old packages, and because testing (squeeze) is just too damn slow.

I won't really have access to wired ethernet so I don't wanna risk messing up, and I'm using XFS so I can't dualboot Debian and slack. I don't wanna use ndiswrapper, what files do I need to get? I already saw a HOWTO here @ LQ but it used ndiswrapper.

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

Yes really you just need to put the firmware in place and install/configure wicd.

The fwcutter utility that SqdnGuns pointed you to is a tool that will extract the firmware from the binary drivers.

Thank you all, it works
However, the default wicd didn't work with our network, it didn't see OUR network for some reason, or just didn't wanna connect and showed it as hidden. I had to compile the wicd-1.5.9 tarball, the version I was using in Debian, by myself.
Slack rocks. Thanks for helping.

Here's what I did:

1. Download these tarballs
b43-fwcutter-009 IS NOT the newest version, I got stuck here once.
http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-012.tar.bz2
http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/b...0.10.5.tar.bz2

2. Compile b43-fwcutter-012, simply make, you don't have to install.

3. Extract broadcom-wl-etc, run as root at fwcutter's dir ./b43-fwcutter -w "/lib/firmware" /dir/to/broadcom-wl-etc/drivers/wl_apsta_mimo.o

4. As root modprobe b43

5. Download this tarball, (you can just install the package at /extras on the cd/dvd, but it didn't work for me)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wicd...ar.gz/download

6. Extract, run python setup.py configure, as root (idk if necessary? just to get root permissions) python setup.py install --root=slackpack

7. makepkg ../wicd-1.5.9.txz # OR wicd-1.5.9.tgz if you're < 13.0
cd /root
installpkg wicd-1.5.9.txz (or tgz)
