(S)He had already asked his question in considerably more detail earlier in 
the thread and responded to some of the replies.  At this stage in the thread 
it makes no sense to rely on a pretty uninformative subject line.  That is 
why, I should imagine, thirstyh2o asked the question at the top of this list.

Kevin,

Option 1 worked. That card (broadcom 4312) is not supported by the b43 
driver.

you can use broadcom-sta-modules to make it work
or you can use ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 and compile ndiswrapper-source
for your kernel, and then use the driver for windows.
just google nidswrapper to see how to use it. have fun ;)

My Dell has Broadcom BCM4312 card on it. Following these HowTo's it took 
me about 20 mins to set it up:

http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx
http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse

Just make sure after you install Network Manger the nm-applet has 
started. The simplies way would be just to reboot.

Hope this helps.

So, the system does recognise the card. . . yes?

Broadcom cards are infamous, AFAIC, and have been talked about at
length many times. Check mailing list archives and Debian docs. For
example, http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi .

I got my Broadcom card working in Debian. You'll need to have the
correct driver and firmware. It was rather painless for me once I got
the right info.

g'luck!
