Comment 49 for bug 443185

Ok, another attempt at this. No screenshots, sorry about that.

Process starting from no wireless drivers installed (completely removed via synaptic). No wired connections working either.
Boot. Login. Insert Ubuntu Karmic x64 live cd.
Go to pool, reserved, install bcmwl.
Go to pool, main, install b43-cutter.
Reboot. Repeat several times, purging (complete removal via synaptic) each time.
Repeatedly, Hardware Drivers (jockey?) shows no available drivers to activate.
After several tries, I download and transfer from a different computer ndiswrapper common & utils and ndisgtk, thinking that maybe I need those for these drivers to work (although I do not believe that to be the case). I did not install any windows drivers, though.
On next try, wired connection finally worked, though no wireless drivers are installed. Call it a coincidence, I don't know.
Open Hardware Drivers (jockey?) and find b43 driver finally. Mark as active. It downloads and activates.
Install bcmwl (STA driver) from liveCD pool.
Upon reboot, b43 driver is now gone (from jockey), though STA driver appears (in jockey).
Click activate on STA driver, and jockey goes through the motions (password input, says it's downloading and installing, etc). It even disconnects my wired connection, as though it were activating it.
However, STA remains inactive, the little light isn't green, and it's as if I never told it to activate.

This is my current state, though it is unclear if this will still be clear tomorrow when I boot again. At this point I am utterly frustrated and out of ideas. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to this process. An assistance is greatly appreciated.
Attached is my var/log/jockey.log
