Installing Broadcom 4306 (43XX) Drivers in Ubuntu

This entry was posted in Linux Reference Technology on July 13, 2009 by Steve Jenkins (updated 3803 days ago)

By default, the Broadcom 4306 drivers (which are found in the Acer Ferrari 3000 laptop) are not installed with Ubuntu 9.04. After a fresh install, connect the system to the internet via an Ethernet cable, and run:

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter

then reboot the system.

The wireless adapter should now be working properly.
