bcm43xx-fwcutter and b43-fwcutter are installed and both downloaded firmware from broadcoms website.
ndiswrapper is uninstalled and purged.
AFAIK, no other wireless modules are installed.
please help me!
I did have this wireless card working under sidux a number of kernels back, but have had no luck since.
Feel free with any questions.

please post output of
lsmod|grep b43
can help a bit, also post /etc/network/interfaces
to make sure the firmware are there:
ls /lib/firmware/b43*
and my favorite:
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules |

This is wrong, you have:
Code:
allow-hotplug eth0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-psk a2szobegevr5t616
wpa-ssid linksys_SES_16014
Note that allow-hotplug line has eth0, and the configuration below it is for wlan0.
Then later you have:
Code:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Which means your upping eth0, which maybe isn't what you really want.
Try removing all that cruft and using:
Code:
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-psk a2szobegevr5t616
wpa-ssid linksys_SES_16014

I edited the interfaces file, and using what you wrote, it works just fine.
Thanks kelmo, and now I have a hard copy of all this, so next time, hopefully I can get the bastard working immediately.

Hey all, the above tip works fine, but on every reboot I have to re-add the line
allow-hotplug wlan0.
any ideas why this is? It's a pretty minor problem, I'd just li know why.
I love sidux.
I'm running it on my main workstation now, and it kicks ass.
