Hi Head_On_Stick,
you are right when you say not to use ubuntu drivers on debian. but at times we need to try a few things to get the work done..
also 'broadcom-ska-modules' is not there in the repository, i found 'broadcom-sta-modules'. and i tried installing that and i download the broadcom driver and installed it.... unfortunately no success... i pasting the command and the output below...
root@debian:~# apt-get install linux-headers-amd64 build-essential dkms broadcom-sta-modules
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'broadcom-sta-dkms' instead of 'broadcom-sta-modules'
build-essential is already the newest version.
dkms is already the newest version.
linux-headers-amd64 is already the newest version.
broadcom-sta-dkms is already the newest version.
