I did as much research as I could before posting, but I'm only a casual linux user, and I just started using dsl.

I'm trying to get my wireless card to work. It's for a hp pavillion ze5500 . It has a broadcom 802.11 g/h wireless card.

I followed the instructions here:
http://www.hants.lug.org.uk/cgi-bin...._Debian

I got all the way down until:
Typical List of Commands to Manually Connect to a Network Using DHCP
...
# dhclient wlan0

dsl doesn't have dhclient, or make or gcc, so I can't build it from source.

At the beginning, in the bootscreen, I notice a line that say something about dhcpd broadcasting in the background, but when I do a find on dhcpd on bash, I get nothing:
# find / -name dhcp // no executable of any kind

I would appreciate any help in getting this wireless card up and running. Dsl is a very nice distro and I would like to get to know it better.

DSL uses pump instead of dhclient.
Try pump -i wlan0
