So I did what it says, and: [root@mbrc15 driver]# which b43-fwcutter /usr/bin/b43-fwcutter [root@mbrc15 driver]# b43-fwcutter -v b43-fwcutter version 009 [root@mbrc15 driver]# b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ wl_apsta_mimo.o Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by b43-fwcutter. This file has an unknown MD5sum cb8d70972b885b1f8883b943c0261a3c. [root@mbrc15 driver]# root@mbrc15 driver]# pwd /root/broadcom/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver Any ideas? Thanks, Mike.
