Peter,
Thanks for the comments. Caveating all this as above: as I'm not a LINUX guy (and all this may drive me back to Windows screaming ), am I incorrect in understanding that when the Broadcom site says their hybrid driver is agnostic to the specific version of Linux kernel, that means it applies across different releases (specifically, to 8.04)? I was going to try applying the driver update to 8.04 rather than doing a fresh install of 8.10.

As many might be thinking right now, I know just enough to make myself dangerous. However, I assure you that I'm now certain that I know more than the Dell Ubuntu tech support people I've had the pleasure of speaking with over the past couple of days.

As you noted in your 59597 thread, I just want a simple to follow fix for the OS so my Mini works on WPA networks.
