I clicked on the menu bar: System, Administration, Hardware Drivers
This gave a panel with a list of hardware needing proprietary drivers.
I clicked on the ENABLE box and followed the instructions and it all seemed to happen. My wireless lan showed the signal strengths for about 18 nearby networks as well as my own, but I could not connect.

Among the files left behind was a shellscript:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
dir=$(mktemp -d) downloads. openwrt. org/sources/ wl_apsta- 3.130.20. 0.o downloads. openwrt. org/sources/ broadcom- wl-4.80. 53.0.tar. bz2 3.130.20. 0.o wl-4.80. 53.0.tar. bz2 wl-4.80. 53.0/kmod/ wl_apsta_ mimo.o b43legacy
cd "$dir"
wget http://
wget http://
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-
tar xfvj broadcom-
b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-
rm -rf "$dir"
chmod o+rx /lib/firmware/b43 /lib/firmware/
So I'm still tethered by my ethernet cable!
