bcm43xx-fwcutter - Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware

Which version of Ubuntu are you using ?

I tried both 7.04 and 6.? And Kubuntu versions, All failed during boot of
live cd, the text based installer worked but screen went blank during first
boot, I do not known whether it has crashed or whether it simply is not
outputting a signal to the monitor.

I am now using fedora which is working fine, but seems to have some similar
issues and may be due to conflicts between the broadcom card and other
devices. If dhcp is turned on and the ethernet cable is plugged in it goes
to a blank screen on boot, if I unplug this it boots but looses dns server
info which needs to be reset. also If I manually add Ip/gateway/dns/subnet
info, it will not boot.

I have reinstalled several times and tried many things but to no avail, I
have now got used to using dchp, unpluggine the ethernet cable during boot
and reentering the dns info once booted, this is a bit of an annoyance, any
advice would be very much appreciated

Cheers

Colin

I have successfully used bcm43xx-fwcutter previously but not on my current
install, I have been told that recent kernels have it included, but I have
not set this up yet (I updated my kernel last night)
