Thanks

What are those for?

Maybe here's something helpful http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#b43legacy.2C_b43.2C_STA.2C_brcm80211.2C_..._the_full_story . That starting post doesn't give too much info .

edit:fixed link

[Leopard]

Thanks for the answers.

Sorry guys, so basically this is what happend:
I want to install kali linux on macbook pro. During the installation it asks me the driver of my wifi and ethernet which are b43/ucode29_mimo.fw and b43-open/ucode29_mimo.fw and i can't find them!!
I already tried to install kali without it and install them in a different way but u still need the drivers.

No i installed it as my second OS.
I have tested live usb and live dvd both, but its always the same.
I have done some research n i saw its cuz there is no driver for BCM4331 included in kali installation.

Are you using latest version of kali? It seems that issue should have been fixed http://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=76 . BCM4331 is listed as supported device in the link i put in to my first post so check that again(i fixed the link) and maybe test drivers from there. If you can't connect to internet with kali at all(with cabel)  google "offline install b43-fwcutter".

About liveusb, how about making it persistent? If i understand what you meant by it being same .

Kali linux is just a debian spinoff, thousands of pages that talk about how to install the firmware etc, no magic here.
Its probably me but I get annoyed by all them kids that skip the learning linux part and jump on a toolkit that is so vast that they dont even know where to start.

Not sure if that was pointed to me also or only OP. I like to think i have some knowledge on linux basics(Not saying that i wouldn't have much to learn). Atleast i have been using debian based distros for few years now.

I ran all those ubuntu forum topics also and was wondering how OP couldn't have find them. Just wasn't sure if it's ok to post link to another forum.

Propably best advice to OP would have been that go to read what nulldigit says in this topic https://evilzone.org/index.php?topic=15666.0 .

Glad someone listened to me at least.

Google can and will find what you are looking for. Apple is dedicated to hardware WITH its software, so what you are experiencing I am sure more than a few apple fags have the same issues, either that or you don't know shit. Maybe you can learn that following a tut online will only give you an idea of what you need to do. All of apple products run the same hardware and software and no one else has issues, either your google-fu is shit and out of date or you are shit, pick one.

People have issues with some "special" hardware or some obscure laptop and shit, your crap doesn't fall under that category. Apple fags are just that, Kali can and will run on your shit because your shit is the same crap the hipster down the road runs, asking me for skid shit.

I will not help you, learn what your fucking doing before asking for help.

Thanks a lot for the answers.
Yes am using the latest version of kali. And i meant usb not usb live :-p
I have checked all your links thank you.
They say the issue have been fixed but kali doesn't detecte them so you must install it manually!!
I did the research with offline install and i found some files, thanks for the help.

I think you didn't understand why am here!!
Am not a fan of mac or windows etc, am here to learn, thats it thats all!!
When i don't know something, when i can't find something i ask and it's totaly normal.
If you don't want to help it's your choice. Thanks.
