Im new to Debian/Linux...
I have tried following the Debian Wireless-HowTo and other related
Linux WiFi HowTos.

I downloaded and installed the firmware-b43-installer and
b43-fwcutter, (synaptic shows them as installed packages now).

In Gnome, using network-manager (applet) there is nothing about
wireless networks shown at all, only my wired LAN ethernet network is
an option.

How can I tell if my PCI card is being detected and firmware loaded
correctly, and what are the next steps to get WiFi working?
Thanks, Colin
