[dundee] Broadcom wireless chipsets in laptops

[Gordon Dunlop]

Hi Paul,

microcode5 is the firmware, so this is not being loaded - maybe due to 
being no firmware modules present in /lib/ firmware. Have you used 
bcm43xxfwcutter? If not, you can download  this program from the Debian 
repositories and follow instructions from the previous posts on this thread.
