OK, thank you. It says here that your driver is not (currently) supported by the b43 driver: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drive ... ed_devices
Could you check whether your device id as reported by lspci -nn -d 14e4: (value in square brackets towards the end) matches this one:

Code: Select all

14e4:4727

Otherwise please post the line containing the device id as reported by lspci.

So that Salix wiki page about installing the firmware is of minor help to you.

But if the device id matches that driver could work: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211
To load that driver manually run this as root:

Code: Select all

modprobe brcmsmac

If that doesn't work check the firmware directory with:

Code: Select all

ls -l /lib/firmware/brcm

and give me a listing of the installed kernel related packages:

Code: Select all

slapt-get -search '^kernel-'

EDIT: A first test whether that brcmsmac driver is working can be the output of iwconfig.
