Wireless still not working... not drivers...

[reed9]

Download firmware from this: http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2

Do

export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver
b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta_mimo.o

The last line and package version are different from above.

Permission denied? I am obviously the administrator, and running this as a sudo command does not work either.

Help has ceased, and I have quit trying. Back to the mass of people that think Linux blows.
