I also have a C610 using the same kernel as you reported in 'uname -a'. My difference is that before I loaded the (non-free) driver for my card, 'lspci' at least returned the card. So unless you truncated your terminal output you have one less line than I did (do). 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 42) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801CAM ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801CAM IDE U100 Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78) 02:01.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1420 PC card Cardbus Controller 02:01.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1420 PC card Cardbus Controller 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43XG (rev 01) For me, I got going with the instructions found on the 'wl' part of the Debian Wiki. I found that out starting with the help of http://wiki.debian.org/Wireless -- don't know if it will help in your case but it's at least a start if you haven't been there already. BTW, my card is a Linksys WPC300N v1 using the Broadcom 4329 chipset. I'm running the 'wl' driver and wpa_supplicant. I don't think Wireless-N support is available. I have a router that speaks both 'N' and 'G' simultaneously but I can only see the 'G' wlan. > The card that I am trying to use is a Belkin N Wireless Notebook Card. > Part No. F5D8013.
