Check dmesg. There must be more info there (especially when b43 is
loaded).
Yes, indeed, dmesg:
b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed.
b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/
Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware
(version 4).
input: b43-phy0 as /class/input/input13
Thanks again,
Mike.
