G'Day stevef,
Firstly, apologies for not finding the information that you referred to. I did try a Search but came up "empty" so being new to the forum, I obviously didn't do the Search properly.
Just a bit of back ground - I volunteer for an organisation that takes in donated computers, refreshes them and then pass them on to needy kids or older folk. I ended up with some 20 macbooks on my bench and have been successful in reviving most with LL 7.6. This particular one is the oldest and the only one with the BCM4322 module. Since posting, I have been doing a bit of work on this one, and while I keep rough notes on each device, I have presented the facts a little wrong in my post. I decided to backtrack and tried a Live LL7.6 off one of my installer USBs and found that it had no WiFi. At this point, I realised that I had started the work on the macbooks using LL6.4! So, I rewrote the USB and booted into a live LL6.4 which did support WiFi. So I will begin again from here with a bit of help from the link that you have provided. Thanks.
