My wireless isn't working, I'm not sure what to do

[Nyxestyx]

Here's what you need:

ifconfig shows only the interfaces "eth0, bal>, lo", I don't see "wlan0".

during install, I was prompted what network interface to use for the netinstall, and I chose eth0 with dhcp. Everything is installed, internet works with ethernet.

"lspci | grep -i net" shows

09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

need anything else? let me know.

What do I do? (please don't tell me read the documentation, maybe if the documentation was written better I wouldn't be here)

Please post the output of

dmesg | grep firmware
