RE: URGENT - v5.0.0 amd64 (stable): Broadcom 4321AG Wi-Fi adapter not detected
Forgive me, but I have absolutely no prior experience with Linux, and the bulk of my programming experience is in two forms TI-BASIC, which is a high-level language for Texas Instruments made graphing calculators, so I'm not really sure how I would go about doing this... could you possibly be a little more specific, please?

Hi John,
you inadvertently modified /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, probably by typing
apt-get install linus-headers-2.6.26-1-amd64 >> etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
or something similar. Just edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist with your
favorite editor, delete line 63 onwards (you can delete any line not
starting with "blacklist" in there) and save it.
Additionally, you don't have the ndiswrapper kernel module. Why don't
you follow the official instructions at
http://wiki.debian.org/NdisWrapper#head-dcf7b280d908028971b8420f6f8008687f89cde5
for that?
Cheers,
Philipp Hagemeister
