But firmware-b43-installer installs and works great on the exact same machine using DD Jessie and MintPup.saintless wrote: This message explains why you can't install the package - not supported low power chip.
Is the firmware-b43-installer in Squeeze repo different from the ones in Jessie and Mint repos?
