Thanks, that is something that didn't show up in my searching. I've downloaded the specified deb file. As it is a dkms, I expect that it will compile OK for debian as well....we shall see!!
I sure appreciate the info. The internal B43 wireless on my laptop does not play nicely with the b43legacy driver and locks up fairly frequently, and has limited data rates. (the b43 driver doesn't work at all). This seems to be a pretty common problem, as I've run across it mentioned on several sites. So, I thought I'd get something that was less problematic.....alas and alack the solution seems to have its own issues!!
