Broadcom Wireless BCM4312 on HP Compaq Error and How to resolved it.

Today I install Ubuntu in my new box and I got below error message :-

"b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found"


The error "b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found" should mean that b43-fwcutter is not installed yet on your pc. And that means that the Broadcom firmware for your wireless card is not loaded or installed yet.

Please proceed with running the following Terminal commands:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter

b43-fwcutter exists in the Ubuntu repositories, but you will need a working wired Internet connection in Ubuntu in order to locate it and install it.
