I have an Acer Aspire V5-121, which was running Kubuntu 13.04. I recently repartitioned and installed the latest 64 bit Crunchbang linux on it. On booting up after installation, I noticed that I couldnt connect to my Wifi network. I setup the network connection as a new connection, inputting details of the network, as was setup on Ubuntu. However, I get no network connection.
I believe the kernel does not recognize my network card. I would appreciate any help setting up Wifi on the netbook. The distro is very fast, bootup is unbelievably quick. If only I could setup network on it, I could finally use it as my main OS.
The wifi card is a Broadcom 802.11n.

Thanks for trying to help, guys. I solved it by installing the wl module as per Debian wiki.
