As far as I know, you can do the same thing in Debian as you can in Ubuntu/Mint.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

you will need an Ubuntu/Mint person to verify, but in Debian you can use<br>
Module Assistant to help through this.<br>
<br>
sudo aptitude install module-assistant<br>
<br>
then do something like:<br>
<br>
sudo m-a<br>
<br>
and follow the prompts. i'm not familiar with the broadcom driver, can<br>
it use fw-cutter?<br>
