Atheros chips are suported by the Madwifi driver (non-free repo); try doing: aptitude install madwifi modules-assistant m-a prepare m-a a-i madwifi modprobe madwifi Broadcom chips are supported by the in-kernel bcm43xx driver; my internal Broadcom AirForce One (Acer AS3690) seems to work fine with kernel 2.6.18-4-686. Note that you do need firmware; aptitude install bcm43xx-fwcutter, and answer yes when debconf asks about downloading firmware.
