I'm 90% sure that jockey is supposed to run automatically and offer to install the broadcom card in this case. Could you please take a look? thank you

I just installed a Lenovo S12 with Lucid (Feb26th iso daily-live) and did a upgrade, but jockey did not offer to install the wifi drivers, again the S12 has a broadcom wifi. I ran System->administration->Hardware Drivers and Broadcom B43 & Broadcom STA is listed there. When I filed the bug (on the Acer Aspire one) Even this menu did not present me with this option. But now what I think could be broken is just the jockey autolauch part.
