Debian 4.0r3 on Lenovo z61m: looking for wireless drivers; wired only semi-working


I just installed Debian 4.0r3 on my Lenovo z61m and besides not being able to use my wireless card, I'm having a really strange problem: My ethernet cable is plugged in, and I can ping sites and get a reply, but I cannot use http or shh, or anything other than icmp to connect to the internet. On the install I had checked the box to configure the network later, also, when I reboot to Windows I don't have any trouble. Any ideas?

P.S. I am wirelessly connected to the same network from another computer typing this now. No issues!

P.P.S. Where can I get the wireless drivers for a z61m? I was used to Ubuntu where it was installed by default.

Could you please post the output of the following commands?
Code:
$ lspci | grep -i 'network'
$ lspci | grep -i 'ethernet'
