Hey tinypoodle!
Those instructions have nothing etched-in-stone for TCP 5.1.
Dry run:
--- Code: ---$ wget -c http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2
$ tar xf broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/firmware
$ tce-load -i b43-fwcutter
$ sudo b43-fwcutter -w /usr/local/lib/firmware broadcom-wl-5.100.138/linux/wl_apsta.o
--- End code ---
No firmware cutting was required w/TCP 4.73. 'b43-tools' had a script to install it automatically.

Q: How can firmware cutting/installing survive reboot, so it's a one-shot setup?
Thanks,
eltone
PS. First post using TCP 5.1 LiveUSB w/WLAN b43
tinypoodle:
PHEW!!
;D
Does Tx-Power still after 0 dBm after connection has become fully functional?
Also, are you sure you want 4 DNS resolver entries?

I answered that back on page 3.

tinypoodle,
WLAN burn-in appears more stable than the hard wired ethernet connection!
If it works, don't fix it, but why question the DNS?
