Files Needed to Add Broadcom Devices to Debian/Ubuntu

 

Here is what I needed to connect to the Internet is the Broadcom Modules.

Here is a list of files that must be used to install it.

Here is the Broadcom Linux Driver:

But I guess I didn't need this because I found some already made up
.deb files - here is a list complete with dependencies.

You can search for the correct version at
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

Everything worked just fine for me with the latest Kosmic Koala files
in 64 bit version!
