Wich web browser do you recomend to use for an old HP nx6310 laptop 1.7ghz - 1Gb Ram

The best is Dillo... but is very limited. Normally I use Qupzilla but sometimes I have problems with. Firefox is very heavy for this laptop.

What do you recommend, Qupzilla? Midori? Palemoon? Other...?

Missing from your list of alternatives: Otter browser, and Seamonkey
MX Linux has deb packages for both of these.

Crucial is where I check for ram limitations.
Get the ram from wherever you want.

Crucial is Microns website. Good ram.

As it does have a Serial ATA-150 [read SATA] in it. A SSD for a hdd will speed that rig up faster.

Let us go this way so we can ID correctly that wireless.

change #blacklist b43 to blacklist b43

From what I have found. . . b43 should be the correct driver.

I have tried all this combinations:

- I can't connect, even from Wicd:

# wl module from Broadcom conflicts with the following modules:
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist b44
#blacklist bcma
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmsmac
#blacklist ssb
blacklist wl

I can't connect, even from Wicd

# wl module from Broadcom conflicts with the following modules:
blacklist b43
#blacklist b43legacy
blacklist b44
#blacklist bcma
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmsmac
#blacklist ssb
blacklist wl

This was the first setup, out of the box, I can connect from Wicd, stopping and starting Wifi:

# wl module from Broadcom conflicts with the following modules:
#blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
#blacklist b44
#blacklist bcma
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmsmac
##blacklist ssb
blacklist wl
blacklist wl

(blacklist was twice) and ssb had two ##...


I can connect from wicd, stopping and starting Wifi:

# wl module from Broadcom conflicts with the following modules:
#blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist b44
#blacklist bcma
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmsmac
#blacklist ssb
blacklist wl


More advices?

That looks promising. Have you power cycled the router? It maybe hung up.

Have you updated at all?

Yes, my system is full updated.
