Thanks for the clarification. I'll try the manual install. FYI: So far, I've different results with installing the proprietary driver via the GUI: - jockey crash, or - window lockup (to be killed with xkill) possibly caused by another, unseen window asking for input, or - successful install I have to check whether it has to do with the order of installation; there are two prop drivers offered; the downloader/unpacker, and the driver itself.
Question: is the proprietary driver (bcmwl-kernel-source?) on the Karmic live CD, or has it to be downloaded over a (wired) Internet connection? Downloading a wireless driver over a wired connection is awkward IMHO.
