Need to update drivers?

[Dreweh]

Okay so i am now running BT4 LiveCD, and this time it has recognized my WLAN card but will not show up in airmon-ng. So i typed a few commands with dmesg and came up with this:

root@bt:~# dmesg | grep wlan
root@bt:~# dmesg | grep eth
Driver 'st' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
jme: JMicron JMC2XX ethernet driver version 1.0.4
eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95784M) rev 5784100] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:22:19:fa:93:d4
eth0: attached PHY is 5784 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1])
eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]
eth0: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]
root@bt:~# dmesg | grep roadcom
b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15)
Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]

I figure that my wireless card is the one that came up under "dmesg | grep roadcom" and it does not mention a problem there but when i typed in " dmesg lspci" it came up with this:

b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15)
b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 6, Type 5, Revision 1)
b43: probe of ssb0:0 failed with error -95
Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]

So is it i need a new driver or sothimeng else? And if so where can i find the driver?

Cheers,

You can try the nes backtrack r1 release which has better broadcom support. There is a thread in the Hardware section on it.

But if it can see the device would it just need an upgrade? I've found the driver for it, and ran through installing it but since its a liveCD it doesnt stick?
Would I be correct? I'm going to try install it on my external hard drive thats lying round see what happens there.

There is a script in the HOWTO section that loads your BT4 .iso and allows you to make changes to it via the terminal (such as apt-get update/upgrade, install drivers or programs, edit .conf files, etc), then you type exit when you are done and it recompresses it as a modified .iso. You just burn the new .iso to a dvd and you have an up-to-date BT4 livecd.
