Direct firmware load for b43* failed with error -2

Here's something from dmesg:

    [    8.693452] b43-pci-bridge 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
    [   10.642589] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4321 WLAN found (core revision 12)

    [   10.922261] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri … cefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website.

I've gone to that website, but it wasn't much help. Tried doing `modprobe b43`, but past that I wasn't sure how to make the interface load. Output of iwconfig:

     ens5     no wireless extensions
     lo         no wireless extensions

`lspci -nn -d 14e4:` shows that this is a [14e4:4328], which that site shows has "wl" as an alternative. How would I use that instead?

Re: Direct firmware load for b43* failed with error -2

Solved it on my own. Followed the link given, went to here: http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/e … oned_above

Built the driver from source and BAM! the error is gone. Bonus that I get wireless!
