hey all, been trying to get my old laptops wifi card to work with my mint xfce install. driver manager tries to use the "STA" driver but does not work. i saw online that the b43 driver should work for it. when trying to install the firmware-b43-installer, it throws a checksum error and refuses to install. pictured below. any help is appreciated

this is to change the source of the firmware files.. the old registry must be outdated or bad.. it was contacting lwfinger.com which seems to be out of dns records, and that's the error.. this fixed it for me, is in the same threat. Copy & paste text in quotes in terminal: "sudo sed -i 's,https://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/${DOWNLOAD},https://github.com/minios-linux/b43-firmware/releases/download/b43-firmware/${DOWNLOAD},' /var/lib/dpkg/info/firmware-b43-installer.postinst"
