 OK, after installing lspci (again, via dpkg and I write up in kind of
a step by step way because other people may have the same problems,
run into this thread)

$ sudo dpkg --install pciutils_3.5.2-1_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package pciutils.
(Reading database ... 232551 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack pciutils_3.5.2-1_amd64.deb ...

Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.6.1-2) ...

$ which lspci
/usr/bin/lspci

 I got:

$ lspci -vnn -d 14e4:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4321
802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4328] (rev 05)
        Subsystem: Apple Inc. AirPort Extreme [106b:008b]
        Physical Slot: 4
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
        Memory at 90300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
        Kernel modules: ssb

$

 which corresponds with the line:

    PCI-ID | Supported? | Chip ID |   Modes | PHY version | Alternative
 14e4:4328 |  partially | BCM4321 | a/b/g/n |      N (r2) | wl

 So, I think I was on the right track, but there was something I
wasn't doing quite right somehow.

 Also, thank you for explaining to me that the matter was more of a
political one, so that is why I could not understand it with a
technical frame of mind.

 What wasn't exactly I didn't do right? or what should I do now?
