Maybe that card's chipset is made by Broadcom or another company that does not open source its drivers. If so, I suggest buying a wireless card with a chipset made by a company that does open source its drivers, like Intel does for example. Ndiswrapper can make Linux use the card's Windows driver if you have it and can noodle it all together. But it is worth your time and money to simply use a card that has a real Linux driver, in my experience. What chipset is on your new wireless card? Here's how to find out: On your laptop (with the new wireless card installed), do: lspci That should show what company made your wireless card's chipset. If you can't see it in there, maybe try: lspci | grep -i net or lspci | grep -i wireless Let us know what lspci shows about your card. Post the whole output of lspci (for your laptop), if you like.

I installed the bcm43xx-fwcutter package from the repositories along with the needed file. After running it and dropping it into /lib/firmware, I just did a modprobe of the firmware and it's working now! I'm seeing wireless networks in my area and can connect to them! Thanks for the advice, though!
