There was a trick to let STA driver works in Karmic Koala (9.10 Alpha).
Following these steps:
1) Goto System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers
choose firmware for wireless from b43 (fwcutter version), let it download and do installing. Wait and just finished it.
2) Open shell, type:
    sudo rmmod b43
    sudo rmmod ssb
3) Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, add these lines:
# disable b43
blacklist b43
blacklist ssb
4) Goto System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers again
now installing STA Wireless driver, it should be worked.

Ps: Step 3 is just for sure, normally, jockey does automatically blacklisting b43.
