Hi John, If you can connect to the internet using the ethernet port, then you can use these steps: aptitude install wireless-tools aptitude install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer modprobe b43 iwconfig ifconfig wlan0 up Another thing that you can try is install the vendor driver: aptitude install module-assistant wireless-tools m-a a-i broadcom-sta modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac modprobe wl iwconfig I hope it helps.
