<SOLVED>Does LMDE include Broadcom drivers?</SOLVED>

Post by dupie »

After using normal Linux Mint and Ubuntu for a while, I'm interested in making the change to Debian. Unfortunately, my laptop uses a Broadcom STA wireless chip for which I cannot find a driver. I've tried compiling from source on Debian, but I always run into some sort of issue.
My question is if LMDE, like normal Linux Mint, comes with proprietary driver support, or, like normal Debian, does not.
