For the modem I am not sure but I have read something about sl-modem being able to drive some software modems. For example: Package: sl-modem-daemon Priority: optional Section: non-free/misc Installed-Size: 932 Maintainer: Eduard Bloch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: sl-modem Version: 2.9.9a-1 Provides: slmodem Depends: libasound2 (>> 1.0.8), libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), debconf, sl-modem-modules-new | sl-modem-source (>> 2.9.6-1) | kernel-image-2.6 Conflicts: sl-modem-modules Filename: pool/non-free/s/sl-modem/sl-modem-daemon_2.9.9a-1_i386.deb Size: 411974 MD5sum: 49d534d074636aff88dcdef62bc19e24 Description: SmartLink software modem daemon The SmartLink modem daemon is the application part of the driver for recent modems produced by Smart Link Ltd. . This package replaces (along with hardware access drivers) the old driver generation (2.7.x) which consisted of kernel modules only. . It needs a kernel driver to access the hardware. This can be either recent ALSA (shipped with a newer kernel (>=2.6.4) with Alsa support and intel8x0m module) which is sufficient for basic operation and data/Internet connection, or the SmartLink kernel driver which is provided by separate packages which you can build using the source from the sl-modem-source package. For the broadcom, after some searching I determined that apparently this driver should work: broadcom-bcmwl564-ndis-amd64.tar.bz2 and I imagine a google search could find whatever place I downloaded that one.
