yes you are correct,i cant find it though.If i click on sys folder when it opens there is a firmware folder is that the folder im sopposed to put those 2, b43 legacy and b43 folders in?

Then make the firmware folder!

what?so make another folder that is named firmware and drag and drop the two extracted folders into it?

1-ok,when i download the 2 file links i get 2 tar.gz files on my desktop.

2-when i right click on them it says extract here.

3-then i extract ,so i get 2 folders on my desktop.


this is where i am now what should be my next step.

here is my desktop at the moment.

Create a folder "firmware" in "/lib", then copy the two extracted folders into "/lib/firmware".

On your third screenshot in post #59 I can clearly see the firmware folder inside the lib folder.

Not everyone have a fast connection here.

In Linux, you have to be logged as root/sudo to do certain changes on your system.
That's why you can't create a new directory and or move files.

Do the CTRL+ALT+T and type this:
Note: What you will see beginning with a # sharp sign are comments.
Now do as MTK358 said, create the folder and copy the files.

Remember do sudo plus the command you want on a terminal everytime you need special access.

Consider reading a bit about the shell...

And remember everyone here is trying to help you, but you have to make some effort too.
Don't give up and we won't give up on you

Good luck

what you need to reilize is sometimes when there are instructions,it,s difficult for a newbie of this ooperating system to understand.

you said-Do the CTRL+ALT+T . so go to terminal

then type this. root one is that correct?then after type nautilus.



heres what i get

Error opening file '/lib/firmware/b43/ucode13.fw': Permission denied

And Hello!

musky - I know sometimes is hard...
No... What I have posted is to you go for the terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
Then type this on the terminal:
Press Enter.
Will ask for your password.
Type it.

Now will open nautilus on root mode.
Finally you can create the firmware folder and copy the files like MTK pointed.

And voilla!!

Good luck, once again!

ok it open nautilus on root mode.So i copied the 2 desktop folders into my created firmware folder.ok i cp that folder into lib folder.Then i opened terminal a c/p sudo cp -r ~/wireless/* /lib/firmware/

and after password i get cannot stat `/home/chris/wireless/*': No such file or directory

Not that musky.

Just open the terminal.
do sudo nautilus, create the firmware folder on /lib.
And copy the extracted folders of your desktop to /lib/firmware.

No commands... Just do it on your file browser.
...thread #64...
Haven't you read it?

Well people use to say that at the third is the deal.

Good luck!

yes i did step 64.Icreated a folder on desktop put the 2 extracted files which are folders into the firmware folder i made. .Then when i ran root one,i was able to put folder in lib folder.Is that correct so far.

you mean copy the 2 folders into the firmware folder i made.which would be the 2 extracted files.

Yes.

And did you read the LinuxCommand tutorial in my sig yet? If you did, you would probably easily figure out everything yourself.
