b43-fwcutter pkg aborts, says it cannot find broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 at http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/

[phgregory]

Binary package hint: b43-fwcutter

manually browsing to http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/ confirms that the precise file is needed. I do not know why b43-fwcutter is getting a 404 error.

Using Ubuntu 9.10 on Compaq Presario 2200 with Broadcom WiFi

Strange, when I boot Ubuntu from CD, it sees the wifi, but not after I installed it.

Have you tried running b43-fwcutter again manually?
Have you tried changing your dns to something else? (another ISP, OpenDNS, Google DNS)

Did you set up a proxy server in your network settings? Are you behind a transparent proxy?

No proxies - only direct access. Thanks,
