This command should find it: dmesg |grep "Loading firmware version" If you're using b43-fwcutter it shouldn't be an issue, but there were older versions of the firmware with bugs that caused transmission errors. Italo,

Check your firmware version on your wireless card. This command should find it:
dmesg |grep “Loading firmware version”

If you’re using b43-fwcutter it shouldn’t be an issue, but there were older versions of the firmware with bugs that caused transmission errors.
