Hi, Just installed Mint with wifi on my Toshiba Satellite Pro A30, needed to enable proprietry BCM43XX firmware first and download via wired LAN, then all was good :)

== Drivers ==

I suggest include drivers for Linksys WiFi routers and USB keys .--[[User:Mac|Mac]] 14:12, 19 February 2008 (CET)

== Solve bcm43xx ==

I have a HP Compaq Presario V6500, and I had to follow this guide to get WIFI to work.

== Broadcom Elysa ==

Alright, since it's based on Hardy, broadcom is really being a pain in the neck, so I wrote this guide on the forums, and if you want to post it Husse, that'd be cool :P

First download wl_apsta.o to your destop. Extract it using archive manager, then you'll be left with 'wl_apsta.o.lzma'. Open it with archive manager, and extract it. Now for the hard-ish part. You'll need build essential, so:

''sudo apt-get install build-essential''

after you do that type:

''cd
wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
tar xjf b43-fwcutter-011.tar.bz2
cd b43-fwcutter-011
make
cd ..''

And lastly, to install it and have it work:

''export /home/user/Desktop=”/lib/firmware”
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod''

Would be nice to be able to edit this - so as to fix the bad English and so as to improve the page.  It doesn't matter how many times people delete your page: it can be recovered: nothing is ever deleted in MediaWiki.

Secondly, I've no idea what these Cerebrus or Cerias or whatever they are called are.  Is it some form of new chocolate? An alcoholic drink?  Antagonists from the Iliad?  New movie stars?

Without being able to edit, I can't help clarify or do anything to add to the value of your text.
