Mint tells me that I must download firmware
Broadcom's website is no help and the lspci -vvnn command comes back blank. I'm following the instructions on this site:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#switch_b43
I can't tell if it's a driver or firmware or what is broken, and I hope you can help me. This netbook will be for a young lady whose father died of a brain tumor.
and here are the results of the 3 utilities required.

dmesg scrolls too far to let me capture it all, but I'm hoping you can see the relevant part here. I'm too much of a newbie to pipe the result to a file in Linux, tho I could in Windows.

Broadcom's website is no help and the lspci -vvnn command comes back blank. ?I'm following the instructions on this site:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#switch_b43I can't tell if it's a driver or firmware or what is broken, and I hope you can help me. ?This netbook will be for a young lady whose father died of a brain tumor.

Please see:

Your kernel is 2.6.32, so you need to follow
1) Install b43-fwcutter
2) If you are using the b43 driver from older kernel
So the steps for you are (quoting from wiki):
wget http://bues.ch/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-015.tar.bz2
tar xjf b43-fwcutter-015.tar.bz2
cd b43-fwcutter-015
make
sudo make install
cd ..
export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3_mipsel.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3_mipsel.tar.bz2
sudo b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3/driver/wl_apsta/wl_prebuilt.o
(Please refer to wiki if my dumb GMail will break lines)
