Hi GRV,
here is the documentation:

I guess that the kernel in debian lenny is recent enough to use the
b43
module in it.
What firmware to use and how to copy it where is described on the
webpage
in detail. If your kernel is >= 2.6.25:
Open a shell, make sure your user is in group src, then
cd /usr/src

Actually, b43-fwcutter is a package in Lenny repos. No need to build
it yourself. During install you get a message asking if you'd like to
download the firmware.
