Bug Description
jockey-kde says "Broadcom B43 wireless driver" is not installed. (This is correct since I assume it is referring to the firmware.) When I click "Activate", the box listing the drivers goes gray and nothing seems to happen. When I click "Close", I get this crash.

I can work around this by starting jockey-kde through sudo, since apparently the crash happens when it is trying to get root privileges.
