Measures taken: 1. Reloading the modules with rmmod b43 then modprobe b43. 2. Deleting /lib/firmware/b43 re-downloading broadcom-wl and reinstalling b43 from scratch with b43-fwcutter -w inside the /usr/lib/firmware/ folder.Here's the dmesg output:[ 8.338235] systemd-journald[142]: File /var/log/journal/a03a9102551b4394ab4bd1a237770fa5/system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.[ 20.724653] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found (core revision 10)[ 20.760062] b43-phy0: Found PHY: Analog 4, Type 2 (G), Revision 8[ 20.760087] b43-phy0: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, ID 0x2050, Revision 2, Version 0[ 20.760090] b43-phy0 warning: 5 GHz band is unsupported on this PHY[ 20.834639] b43 ssb0:0: Direct firmware load for b43/ucode5.fw failed with error -2[ 20.834686] b43 ssb0:0: Direct firmware load for b43/ucode5.fw failed with error -2[ 20.834735] b43 ssb0:0: Direct firmware load for b43-open/ucode5.fw failed with error -2[ 20.834769] b43 ssb0:0: Direct firmware load for b43-open/ucode5.fw failed with error -2[ 20.834776] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found[ 20.834931] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode5.fw" not found[ 20.835076] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to and download the correct firmware for this driver version.
