That's because firmware-b43-installer is not installed on your system. It used to be installed by default but with since the package requires the network to be installable, it got dropped from the default metapackage.

@rhertzog

I installed 'firmware-b43-installer' (sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer). It seems to be working now.

Thank you for the feedback and your time.

I need to AMEND the previous comment of mine. It works BUT DROPS randomly and just SCANS for networks, connects to one AND then drops again repeatedly. I've tested this many times in multiple scenarios.

Thanks, I appreciate your time.
