[SOLVED] New to Debian... Help getting wifi to work?
Hi, so I have just switched to Debian from ubuntu about hmm 5 hours ago. The entire time I have been troubleshooting and trying to figure out how to get the wireless card in my laptop to work with absolutely no prevail.

Debian 5.0 Lenny
My wireless card chipset is Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
ifconfig comes up with this.
ifconfig

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
