    Since this is the same system as in your post about a Fedora driver, the answer is the same. You have a Broadcom 4312 wireless and need to use the Broadcom wl driver.

    I don't know if there is a pre-compiled version available for Debian. You can always download the source and compile it.

    Broadcom.com - 802.11 Linux STA driver
