im running on ubuntu 14.10 and i want to change my wireless kernel driver from wl to b43. is there a step by step procedure to do this?
here's my adapter info.
i run sudo lspci -k
08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n
(rev 01) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 2230 Kernel
driver in use: wl
i run sudo lspci -vnn

Kernel driver in use: wl
i already search the net and suggestion says that i should run this sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
then this sudo modprobe b43
also check the additional drivers but no b43 driver option that i can enable.
i run sudo lspci -vnn
but kerner driver in use is still:wl
i checked the broadcom website to check if my wireless model is compatible[14e4:4365] but it says "NO".
is there any work around out there? for this to work?
any help is deeply appreciated
regards
