I'm setting this back to confirmed for Jaunty because it does NOT work on my DELL 1535. I've just now the updated driver (took a long time to get to the repos) and the machine hangs once connected. The best I can say is that while the machine used to hang immediately upon connecting to the secure WAP, it now survived to load this page (I was hoping to report that it worked). Using dg's trick to prove the right one is installed,

$ strings `modinfo wl | grep filename | awk {'print $2'}` | grep Broadcom
%s: Broadcom BCM%04x 802.11 Wireless Controller 5.10.79.10

I can include a screen shot showing that it is active, if you like! FWIW, I will include /var/log/messages covering the failure and reboot (reboot at 15:23).
