Gramps50 wrote a script to aid in installing drivers of the Broadcom 4312 in LMDE and posted it HERE, the script with brief instructions are towards the bottom of his post. I had searched for the instructions and did the same procedures as outlined in his script prior to realizing it was there. The necessary packages are available through Synaptic.

You could also download the source code of the driver Broadcom has made open source from HERE. There is a readme file on that page telling you how to install from source. There are also patches for people running a kernel 2.6.33 or higher.

Thanks dawg. Well, nothing worked. I sat up half the night trying to figure it out. I reinstalled Mint 9. Ubuntu is so much easier to install for me with the restricted drivers there and everything. I just have no idea what the problem is. Thanks for your help.
