Yes and no.:)
Yes - you can copy whatever you want. Those are files only.
No - whever you copy from debian to familiar (except interpreted scripts)
will probably not work.

If you know which module is used in debian for your card, modprobe this
module in familiar. If there is no such a module in familiar you are out
of luck, if module is present and loaded and your card dose not work,, you
are out of luck.

If module is present but not autoloaded on card insert, you need to hack
hotplug scripts (do not ask how - if you do not know, forget).
