Help with Ubuntu custom minimal install
I made a custom build on a seperate partition using debootstrap. I got all the necessary packages and got fluxbox working from WITHIN an existing Ubuntu build. I.e. /dev/sda1 is my primary Ubuntu install and /dev/sda3 is my custom build.

I have a wireless USB adapter, model number WUSB54GC, which I haven't been able to get working. And an ethernet controller which I have no idea how to configure.
The metapackage linux-generic installed all the needed (and unneeded) drivers. I just don't know how to activate them.

Notes:
The system on /dev/sda1 was installed with the LiveCD so everything worked automatically.
Selcted output of lspci:
01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01)

Selected output of lsusb:
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 13b1:0020 Linksys

Selected output of ifconfig and iwconfig;
ifconfig
