this worked with every other LM install but can't even seem to get ethernet in LMDE though it is as simple as connect of wire in all others. .....then 'sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source && sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer ...... disconnect wire, reboot to LM. Don't seem to understand how to provide ethernet with the info for how my connection should be setup. Any help would be appreciated please and thank you.

I don't know about LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) but I do know something about Debian.

If you can't access either ethernet or wireless you could install the driver to a USB stick on another computer. The wifi driver is here: https://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx
The Debian instructions are :
Then Reboot when it is added.
