Comment 22 for bug 135000

Since it began here and others will read here... I want to correct the simple instructions to deal with this problem.

Basilio was kind enough to post this:
user@machine:~$ cd /tmp
user@machine:/tmp$ sudo rmmod bcm43xx
user@machine:/tmp$ wget -c http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
user@machine:/tmp$ sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
user@machine:/tmp$ sudo modprobe bcm43xx

I added a sudo to the last line.

No reboot needed. Go check your icon and find that wireless networks now show up.
I am using a Dell Latitude D800 with a bcm4309 in it.

Thanx Basilio. Hopefully this little piece of info will help others to squash this BUG.
