So sorry!
I have two ONGOING problems in the linux/Ubuntu world... The nVidia Driver
for the 4200 and the bcm43xx firmware for the integrated wireless module. I
was confusing the two, driver versus firmware. Everything else is the same.

For instance,
R-M does not handle the nVidia driver (1.936??) correctly. So my statement
is still valid in that R-M would mitigate the real problem if it worked to
properly install the correct driver and configure xorg.conf to use it. But
it doesn't, so there is no mitigation through R-M.

Again, sorry for the mixup in my terms.
