bcm43xx on the Powerbook 12"
And got that resolved liketly split as well!

The fwcutter package, once I finally got it, unfortunately was looking for a website that no longer existed. Surely they'll have it patched in the next version, but in the meantime, that did the trick :-)
Essentially the problem was that while it installed the driver, it needed firmware for the thing to make it run, and of course debian's not gonna put on a non-free item even if it's ultra-critical ;-) But wow -- wireless and a gui on a PPC Debian install... will wonders never cease!
