I am wanting to connect to the internet via wireless on debian. I have searched google and cannot find anything. I have a linksys pci card.

To get the wireless working you need to find out what chipset the wifi card uses, a google search for with the wifi card model number and version should yield good results.

Code:

lshw -C network

may also show what chipset it uses. When you know this then you can get the correct driver.
