wireless USB device

[Michael Havens]

bummer.... a little searching turned up

   http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/796

which tells us to

   lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
   04:07.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0
      100Base-TX [14e4:170c] (rev 02)

and then to look for 14e4:170c in
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 and if you can find it it
is supported.

Ideas?
