You've already switched to the b43 driver and blacklisted wl, correct? You should be good to go now. That is the correct driver for your part. Your post will allow kmathern to correct the autodetection routine. Thanks!

Right now the BroadcomStartup script does it's grep test on the 14e4:4401 wired device instead of the 14e4:4320 wireless device.
The change I proposed yesterday of changing the command to `lspci -vnn -d 14e4:4320` will fix it so it tests the wireless device.
For the time being you'll need to manually unblacklist the b43 driver and blacklist the wl driver, if we release a MX-15 point release at some time in the future it'll include the change I mention.

Thanks. I have unblacklist the b43 driver.
I just see an option to unload wl driver and not to blacklist.
Is it the same ? Because after doing that it goes to the 2nd category of"Unloaded drivers" and the 3rd category is"Blacklisted drivers".
I still feel that the browsing is slow. I have XP installed on the same machine and firefox on that runs faster, just that it keeps crashing.
Also I feel that there is a delay when I use page up/down or scroll using the mouse the screen refresh has a lag.
Not sure if I have to check for any other drivers.

XP was released a few years before your laptop. MX was released about 12 years after your laptop (your laptop is from 2003). So you can't really compare how to 2 OS work on that laptop. I'd also bet that the firefox browser versions are completely different too.
Once you have got the wireless sorted, then you may want to see if you can use the proprietary nvidia driver. I'm not sure if your nvidia card is still supported. If it is, you are in luck. If it isn't then you will have to consider getting a newer, supported nvidia graphics card.

for your system? Live is OK. I would like to see what modules are loading by default for your ethernet.

The BroadcomStartup script edits the /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-dkms.conf file to look like what's shown below.
In addition to unblacklisting the b43 driver it also unblacklists the bcma & ssb drivers, and it adds a blacklist entry for the wl driver.
You probably need to do more than just unblacklist the b43 driver.conn.sk wrote:Thanks. I have unblacklist the b43 driver. ...

Will do the lsmod
mean while, I made a new stick, did the apt-get remove after setting up the internet, rebooted and
Got a bit of a reprieve today.
I am new to linux. Off to get the lsmod

Hi,
I found the display drivers at

How do I install them on antix ?

Jessie based distros are using Xorg 1.16.x, the 173 series driver was only supported up to and including Xorg 1.14.

kmathern is right. You will have to stick with nouveau or buy a newer nvidia card.
