OK, as you have really new hardware, using sarge (AKA Debian 3.1) is sensible.

I'm not sure I understand this correctly.
You downloaded the ISO-images with a laptop and tried to burn them with it?
And this didn't work for all CD's?

Burning it with Nero as image is correct. Sorry for the imprecise
description in my last mail.

RC3 is from 2005-03-24.
You can try the daily build from yesterday with:

The netinst image has all packages for recognising your hardware and
installing a base system.
After first reboot (= 2nd stage) you will download all additional packages
needed from a debian mirror.
So this CD is sufficient for installation.
I don't know if your Broadcom adapter is supported, sorry.
