Linksys Pcmai WPC600n Wireless Card help.

I'm fairly new to linux, but I'm trying to learn. anyways, I can't seem to get the card to work. When I "lspci" I get "broadcom corporation BCM4321..." I've tried loading the b43 and b43 legacy drivers.. ( I unloaded one before trying another one. ) I also typed "taxpkg get-install broadcom-wl" and I tried the wl module. I modprobe them as well.

Did I by any chance miss something or am I doing something wrong? Please help.

thanks mojo, the above instruction made my wireless work on compaq presario R-3000 w/ broadcom 4306, after a week of trying, typing, googling without success, and was just about to quit. Working like charm. Thanks again..
