I am using Acer aspire-5002wlmi laptop and set up a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04. Wifi is well working in XP but when I start Ubuntu I will get the below error.

[ 95.514855] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all the instruction on this website.

then I followed the instructions from the below link

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/MGL/Desktop/how%20to%20install%20ubuntu/Ubuntu%2012.04%20Splash%20Screen%20Lockup%20with%20LiveCD%20_%20Ben%20Rousch%27s%20Cluster%20of%20Bleep.htm

but I am stuck in installing the Broadcom Wifi firmware in terminal and it is showing this error:
