Wireless working success on Debian Wheezy7.2 PPC G5

[ivtec]

Ok guys after some strugle i was able to get my wireless working on my Imac PPC g5 debian 7.2 , now what i did in simple terms and simple steps for people that need to solve the wireless fix.


Download http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/kerne ... -brcm80211

terminal type:nano /etc/apt/sources.list


Then Paste or type inside /etc/apt/sources. list :

# Debian 7.0 wheezy"
deb http://debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

CRTL + X + Y on the keyboard


then: Apt-get update


Then :Apt-get install firm-ware-b43-installer

then; desconnect the wired ethernet cable

Now i have almost everything working great in my old PPC the only thing missing for a 100% great working pc is the UTUBE missing flash or alike

The blogs PowerPC Liberation and PPC Luddite may be able to help with the Youtube issue.

You can use "gnash" and "browser-plugin-gnash" for viewing Flash videos in Iceweasel / Firefox.
The non-free Adobe Flash plugin is not available for the ppc architecture as far as I know.
So you probably have to live with gnash.

And btw - DON´T upgrade to Jessie. There are video issues and further obstacles. Wheezy ist (nearly) perfect for old Power-PC machines.

Gnash appears to be discontinued! Eeek!
