The required firmware and debian wifi utilities are linked to in this reply earlier:
QUOTEYou can just extract any of these (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Linux) distros to the root of your ext3 partition. How you create the partitions and so is explained here
http://www.gc-linux.org/wiki/WL:whiite-linux it's always the same except of the fs package you use then you copy this (http://sharebee.com/ea20b8c8) files on the SD Card these are the libs and the wifi firmware.
For the firmware follow this
http://www.gc-linux.org/wiki/WL:Wifi_Confi..._firmware_files (don't forget the configuration) and the rest of the files are all installed with dpkg -i and then restart if everything is right you should see a message that wlan was activated while starting linux.
