Already done, but honestly, I think its more work then its worth.

also open synaptic and type in 3.0.0-8 and completely remove all 3 packages if they are still installed.

Just a suggestion to start back at the basics by

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter

Just copy and paste into terminal and execute it. Then to be sure there's no proprietary driver in use, you can

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r b43 wl

and then

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe b43

If that works and you can connect, then verify there is a listing in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf that says

Code: Select all

blacklist wl

Installing the firmware is supposed to install fwcutter, but won't hurt to do it as listed above to be sure it installs the driver and firmware. To shortcut the blacklist entry you can

Code: Select all

echo blacklist wl >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
