Alberto, i really appreciate the patient and generous response you gave to my heartfelt cry for competent jockey wifi driver installation functionality. Here is what I am doing to try to contribute to this effort.

I and a group from Ubuntu Beginners Team are reviving the Wifix project, which is roughly similar to Jockey (except only focused on Wifi drivers). We hope to accumulate, and maintain a database of wifi adaptors and corresponding drivers and publish it for everyone to use. We hope that Jockey will make use of the resources we provide. We definitely will be studying Jockey to learn all we can and provide whatever patches and code we can help out with.

Please feel free to participate in the Wifix project as we contribute to Jockey also. We are located at: https://launchpad.net/wifix
