No WIFI under HP Probook 4515s

[Zoltan Hoppar]

There is only one tiny little problem.

[zoltan at localhost ~]$ tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.3.tar.bz2
[zoltan at localhost ~]$ cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.3/driver
[zoltan at localhost driver]$ b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ wl_apsta_mimo.o
Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by b43-fwcutter.
This file has an unknown MD5sum b84bc801b9b8f39069c252f533655af8.

What's next?
