Hm, ok, so I guess it would need manual configuration to test,
but it is easier to test the free drivers you can test with the
"no-wl" test livecd....

</I>>>><i> Now could I use the same installation to upgrade and use the same usb

</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Just use the same install and install dkms-broadcom-wl

</I>><i> Ok. so all I have to do go online with cable bound network, set media
</I>><i> including non-free, and then install dkms-broadcom-wl plus the needed
</I>><i> things. then reboot and try a new attempt at configuring .
</I>><i>
</I>
yep. it might still suggest to install some of the prebuilt drivers,
but thats ok. the important part is the blacklist that comes with
dkms-broadcom-wl
