I guess I was just hoping to find a solution within debian proper. 
Following the instructions found here:
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian#MadWifiold worked quite

I still need to tweak the network setup but at least I'm connecting
wirelessly now.  The network setup can wait till I get the lid event
to not shut off the backlight until reboot.
