You are going to have to:

• Calm down
• Be a little more patient
• Use punctuation please, it's hard to understand you
• Tell us exactly what wireless chipset you have. This can be found with something like: lspci | grep -i wireless
• Confirm your Debian version (4.0r3?) and kernel version (found with uname -a)
• Be FAR more specific when you mention an error message -- give us the EXACT message it gives you.
• Tell us why it's so urgent, I'm curious as to what is so important that you HAVE to go back to Windows TONIGHT if you can't get this to work
