Hi Larry,

 

      Output of lspci looks as below:

00:00.0 RAM memory [0500]: nVidia Corporation MCP67 Memory Controller [10de:0547] (rev a2)

Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device [103c:30cf]

Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0

Capabilities: <access denied>

And the output of dmesg as below:

 

firmware (version 4).

b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found

b43-phy0 debug: Found PHY: Analog 4, Type 2, Revision 9

b43-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2

input: b43-phy0 as /devices/virtual/input/input10

b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode13.fw" not found or load failed.

b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the latest

 

May be i am not having right devicefirmware to support.I am trying to download firmware.

 

thanks a lot

Ravi
