[ubuntu-in] wireless in Hardy

[AlgoMantra]

Lut4rp,

Since I don't have Hardy currently installed, I tried this running the
LiveCD
two times with different outcomes. I am not a CLI guy yet, and perhaps I
should have tried this on a proper install, but here's what happened. I
got the .O file in XP, rebooted and kept it waiting as a copy in Home on
Ubuntu..

1. I found the b43-fwcutter deb and right-clicked, it started some
Package Installer which asked me if it should "Fetch and extract
firmware' and I said yes, and after a few minutes the install failed.
But I noticed that it was in fact trying to get the same .O file from
the web and failing, because there was no connection.

2. This time I ran the file, and in the Package Installer I did not
click on yes for "fetch and extract firmware" but clicked Forward,
after which my machine hung/crashed/foobarred.

3. On both the above reboots of the LiveCD I had noticed a quick
error message pertaining to B43, before Ubuntu boots.

Perhaps you tried your solution using the terminal and got that
option to select the .O file? Cuz I never got it...
