Thanks for the info. I followed your directions but the wireless does not light up and show any wireless in the network icon. Is there more required than just the b43-fwcutter? Here is the description from Synaptic:
fwcutter is a tool which can extract firmware from various source files.
It's written for BCM43xx driver files.
It grabs firmware for BCM43xx from website and install it.
I am wondering if I need the drivers and then use this utility to add them.
One quick note, the laptop is a Compaq Presario V5000.
