HOW-TO install the Broadcom bcm43xx Driver in Debian Linux and enable WPA Encryption

this HOW-TO was made using Debian etch with kernel 2.6.18-4-686

My network card is a Belkin Wireless G Plus
Part Number F5D7011 ver. 2000

Wireless Access Point: Linksys WRT54GL

Code:

inspiron:~# lspci 0d:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

You may want to ensure you have the wireless tools and wpa security tools installed before you begin

I would follow these instruction for a wireless broadcom card.

Then to enable wpa I would read this short configuration:

I got my broadcom setup in few minutes and my wireless in 30 sec.
Have fun.
