Successfully installed #! on Dell Vostro 1710 with Broadcom wireless (BCM4312 LP-PHY)

Recognised wireless card out of the box and picked up signal and wireless points, but unable to connect.

So here are some notes in case anyone else needs...

to check hardware :
lspci --vvnn | grep 14e4
output:
06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)

then I picked instructions from here http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx
aptitude install wireless-tools
aptitude install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
modprobe -r b43
echo options b43 pio=1 qos=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf
modprobe b43

not sure if I needed to do the install wireless tools
