i use debian sid (updated) on a Compaq presarion 1500 with linksys wpc54g 
pcmcia nic - Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g 
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
Linksys         WPC54G (ver.1.2) PC Card        4306    0x4320  0x1737  0x4320

i was using kernel 2.6.23 which was working fine with this card 
and now that i have upgraded to 2.6.24 i can not connect to the AP (linksys 
wrt54gl)
