Quick wifi drivers question.

[steamedrice]

Does this link for installing the compat wifi drivers apply to Backbox 2.0 or just the 1.x version?

Thank you.

when following the directions for installing these drivers I get these errors

bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2

Thank you, verifying the size of the file showed me it was an incomplete download. I redownloaded it and then worked fine. Thank you!
