Why sending these types of messages hiding in anonymity without responding to any of the questions in my email responses. Again what driver are you using. If it is b43 you want you should not blacklist b43-pci-bridge. Whether or not b43 supports your device can be found here [2]. Supposedly it is. If not you might try your luck at the b43 mailing list I gave you in earlier email. Regards, Arend [2] https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43#list_of_hardware
