I am an old NetBSD-user, and have decided to scrap my Windows
partitions. I have tried several Linux versions. Only two of them
had some kind of success. Debian 7.8.0 and KNOPPIX 7.4.2. The
Debian CD wanted me to find the firmware b43/ucode15.fw and
b43-open/ucode15.fw. I have in vain tried to find this firmware on
the internet. But Knoppix, however seems to have it built-in. At
least Knoppix connects to my Wi-Fi.
I would best like to use Knoppix as my base-system, but I cannot find
out how to transfer its boot version to my hard disk. All I find on
the internet are explanations on how to transfer earlier versions of
Knoppix as boot-loadable versions to the disk. The version 7.4.2
seems to refuse such a transfer.
Please, can somebody help me either to make Knoppix bootable from
hard disk, or to get hold of above mentioned firmware.
Feel free to answer in German, if you prefer.
If all you need is the firmware, install one of these packages
('aptitude show $package' will show the respective chipsets supported ):
firmware-b43-installer
firmware-b43legacy-installer
HTH,
