2008 MacBook WiFi doesn't work with Ubuntu 13.04

Question

I had Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed on my MacBook. It was getting slow, so I backed it up and installed Ubuntu 13.04. But now my WiFi doesn't work.

Well I have searched the internet and haven't really found anything. — macboy10, Aug 15 '13 at 21:12
I did, there is nothing for macbooks since apple discontinued them. Now there are only macbook pros — macboy10, Aug 15 '13 at 21:15
[This answer](http://askubuntu.com/questions/331465/cant-connect-to-wireless-macbook-pro/331479#comment422972_331479) should do it. — jeremy, Aug 15 '13 at 21:20
When installing ubuntu, have you tried selecting the last option on the list to install third-party software? when you do that, you should be able to use such features in the boot disk and when ubuntu is installed to your computer. — user1566425, Feb 24 '22 at 06:30

I am using a 2008 Macbook Core 2 duo, aluminum running Ubuntu 13.04

This answer here worked for me:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mpodroid/mactel
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
sudo reboot
