Forget it I'll use MEPIS Instead....Error when running bcm43xx-fwcutter

Tags:

Hello,

Cancel this. I'll use something I don't have to play too much with. Debian is great in a wired world, pure crap in the wireless world. If mepis can manage to detect my wireless right off the bat, why can't debian? And please don't mention propriatary drivers or I'll throw up...

I'm trying to setup my wireless I loaded the module it is at the top of lsmod outpu.

Using either synaptic of kpacakge manager to load bcm43xx-fwcutter it errors out. Kpackagemanager gives this output

apt-get install --yes 'bcm43xx-fwcutter' ;echo RESULT=$?
