Notes

I have just used the live CD, I haven't installed anything yet.

Wireless NIC

You'd better download the file listed below in the instructions before you lose your network connection. These are shortened instructions from: [community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff].

echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
mkdir ~/bcm43xx; cd ~/bcm43xx
wget http://myspamb8.googlepages.com/R174291-pruned.zip
unzip R174291-pruned.zip
sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
ndiswrapper -l
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig
echo -e 'auto lo\niface lo inet loopback\n' | sudo tee /etc/network/interfaces
sudo ndiswrapper -m
echo 'ndiswrapper' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
echo 'ENABLED=0' | sudo tee -a /etc/default/wpasupplicant
