The show must go on..
tried to re-modprobe the driver now that the firmware was there, said 'fatal module ssb in use' and I don't know how to place the files on the flash drive so they're loaded on boot. lspci -k said the kernel driver in use was b43 pci bridge and I don't know how to change it to get it to use brcm80211 that doesn't need firmware bullshit. I dunno how to work this thing even
