Question #77701 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77701

Mark Rijckenberg proposed the following answer:
Hi Daniel,

The error "b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or
load failed" should mean that b43-fwcutter is not installed yet on your
pc. And that means that the Broadcom firmware for your wireless card is
not loaded or installed yet.

Please proceed with the following commands:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter

b43-fwcutter exists in the Ubuntu repositories, but you will need a
working wired Internet connection in Ubuntu in order to locate it and
install it.

The only way to do that - in your case - is to connect the pc to the
wireless router using a LAN cable, instead of using wireless.

Regards,

Mark
