Hello,
i'm having some trouble to get my wireless adapter to work with Porteus 4.0 32 bits.
lspci shows that is a Broadcom 4306 rev 3, dmesg doesn't show anything related to wl or eth1. I tried the blacklisting guide HOWTO, blacklisting wl, but nothing changes. I see the network popup flicker a little when i press the wifi key on the laptop. I also tried installing the two packages found on USM by searching b43, separately and combined.
On Bodhi linux i got it working by installing firmware-b43-installer package.
The laptop is a compaq nx6110.
Thanks

Hi kragoth.
1) Download b43-firmware-classic-5.100.138-1-noarch.xzm and copy to modules folder of Porteus.
2) Run in terminal these commands
3) After reboot open terminal and check
and try your wifi connection.
If does not help, you can try to tweak these files and reboot Porteus:
/etc/modprobe.d/b43_blacklist.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom_blacklist.conf
