First, the issue that lots of people are having...if you are getting
the "YOUR FIRMWARE IS TOO OLD" issue, I recommend that you follow
this procedure:
# you need to be root
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta.o
That should fix things for most people. However, some people still
need/want to use the older driver even on devices that are (or should
be) supported by the newer driver. If you are in this situation,
I recommend this procedure:
# save the file attached to this email as "bcm43xx-old-config"
# you need to be root
./bcm43xx-old-config
# left this part out...
/etc/rc.local
