[SOLVED] WiFi on Compaq V2000

[rokytnji]

Code:

Broadcom BCM4318

From 'Live CD'... since I haven't installed it yet 'cause the old version wifi still works

what different step am I missing here besides what I was doing before ?.

probably the broadcom firmware install you did on the previous install. A live cd will not have everything.

Code:

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

The problem with the above command. You have to reboot for it to take. On a live cd session.
It will not stick as a live session is read only.
Only a live session with persistence will work with the above command.

In a live session

Code:

sudo dmesg | grep firmware

may show what I am talking about here.
