The error message output by b43 contains instructions for obtaining firmware; however, this naturally does not take account of the script /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware. Modify the messages to suggest use of the script. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger --- V2 - Fix a typo, and reference a wiki page rather than the forum.
